Glasgow to top the Bill in TV show

GLASGOW is to double for Britain's most famous police beat thanks to dramatic
footage of a demolition.


The Gorbals will transform into Sunhill for scenes to be used in a new
episode of The Bill.

Hundreds of local residents watched in awe as the Stirlingfaulds flats were
reduced to rubble in just a few seconds earlier this month, marking the
end of an era for the area.

And millions of viewers will also get the chance to see the jaw-dropping
moment on August 21 as part of one of the ITV show's most exciting
storylines yet.

Bosses usually make the popular police drama in East London but they
came to Glasgow to film the two 23-storey blocks being flattened.

Part of the story has two Sunhill characters running for their lives as the
building they are in is about to explode.

Executive producer Jonathan Young said: "This was a fantastic opportunity
to combine a real-life explosive situation with a dramatic episode of The
Bill.

"The outcome looks brilliant - real edge-of-the-seat stuff."
