First look at new Glasgow BBC thriller drama The Control Room

The BBC has shared a first look at Iain De Caestecker and Joanna Vanderham in new thriller series The Control Room.

The three-part series, written by Nick Leather and directed by Amy Neil, tells the story of emergency call handler Gabe, played by Iain De Caestecker.

While working for the Strathclyde Ambulance Service in Glasgow, Iain De Caestecker's character Gabe takes a turn for the worst as he takes an unusual emergency call.

According to the BBC, "Gabe's life is turned upside down when he receives a desperate life-and-death call from a distressed woman who appears to know him.

"With Gabe under pressure to work out who she is, he makes a decision that threatens to have devastating consequences."

And co-star Joanna Vanderham, who plays Sam, looks serious as she stares blankly at a shining light, fiddling with a blanket - could she be encaptured somewhere?

This new series will be sure to set hearts racing, and minds whizzing as we await the release date.

The BBC One series also stars Sharon Rooney, Daniel Portman, Taj Atwal and Stuart Bowman.

The programme, set in Glasgow, was filmed in Scotland and will air later this year on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
