Paisley formed the backdrop of a major new BBC drama which was filming in the town this week.
The Control Room tells the story of Gabe, an ordinary man who works as an emergency call handler for the Strathclyde Ambulance Service in Glasgow.
His world is turned upside down when he receives a desperate life-and-death call from a 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.
Gabe is played by , the Glasgow-born actor who has starred in Us, Roadkill and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. He was spotted filming scenes in Paisley next to the railway arches at Moss Street.
Filming took place all day and went on well into the night with several surrounding roads closed off.
Iain said: “The Control Room is one of the most exciting scripts I’ve ever read, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time so I’m thrilled to now be bringing it to life.
“I’ve always loved working with the BBC and am especially delighted to be filming alongside this fantastic cast and crew in my hometown of Glasgow.”
The Control Room will be executive produced by Elaine Cameron for Hartswood Films and Gaynor Holmes for the BBC. Eric Coulter is the producer and Amy Neil is directing.
