And that\u2019s how Danny grew up. It was all he knew, all he needed \u2013 him and his dad against the world. But when Danny turns 18, everything he\u2019s ever known explodes in an instant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the first-look image, Danny is seen staring at something in absolute wonder, suggesting that this could be the moment he leaves home to discover what the world is truly like.<\/p>\n<p>Lisa McGrillis (Mum) and Samuel Bottomley (The Teacher) will also appear in the\u00a0 Channel 4 series, which has yet to confirm a release date.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <b>Looking for something else to watch?
