Glasgow becomes the Big Apple for new TV series
Benedict Cumberbatch shot scenes for his new TV show Melrose in Glasgow, which has been given a makeover to resemble New York City.
The Sherlock actor was seen wearing a large coat between takes yesterday while getting into his role as the programme’s lead character Patrick Melrose.
American flags were added to buildings. Parking meters were covered and street signs were changed to modify the Scottish city’s Bothwell Street into a typical New York scene.
Adding to the illusion was a typical New York style yellow taxi.
Period drama Melrose is based on Edward St Aubyn’s acclaimed series of semi-autobiographical Patrick Melrose novels.
