A new BBC Scotland drama starring Martin Compston is set to begin filming in Glasgow this weekend.
Mayflies will see the Line of Duty and Vigil star join up with fellow Scottish actors Tony Curran (Your Honour, Outlaw King, Doctor Who) and Ashley Jensen (After Life, Extras).
Set and filmed in Scotland, Mayflies is a co-commission with BBC Scotland and will be made by the BAFTA Award-winning Synchronicity Films (The Cry) for the BBC, adapted by Andrea Gibb (Elizabeth Is Missing) from Andrew O’Hagan’s acclaimed coming-of-age novel of the same name, and directed by Peter Mackie Burns (Rialto).

About Mayflies, Gaynor Holmes, BBC Drama Commissioning Editor, said: “We’re incredibly proud to continue the BBC’s longstanding commitment to showcasing the very best of Scotland and Scottish talent with this distinctive new drama.
"Mayflies is an intimate and devastating portrait of male friendship that manages to be both life-affirming and heartbreaking, and we’re delighted to have assembled an outstanding lead cast and creative team to bring it from page to screen.”
Filming of the new series is expected to commence this coming Sunday in the Calton area of Glasgow, with production crews also descending on the Trongate, Gallowgate, Bridgeton and Springburn to shoot scenes, before heading to Ayrshire.
