“I was promised four hours to be able to discuss this press release with my sons and was given it 20 minutes prior to the press release going live on national TV. Darroch (Corrie’s brother) had to find out by watching it on Facebook.” Ms Urquhart said she is considerin­g taking out an injunction to stop officers filling in the 48- hectare site “until there is more honesty and plain speaking from the police”.

She said: “I can live with Corrie never being found – any parent would just find a way of dealing

Nicola Urquhart. AS filming begins on a new series of Scotland’s bestloved sitcom, it’s not just the fans who face an anxious wait to find out what lies in store.

For one of the stars of has revealed that tearing open the envelope containing the new scripts is like finding out your exam results.

Gavin Mitchell, who plays Boabby the Barman, said with that, but that’s on the back of knowing that everything’s been done to try and find them.

“I do not want to be anybody that criticises the police ever, but what they’ve done is wrong.”

Police said Mr McKeague, from Fife but based at Honington in Suffolk, had a history of falling asleep in unusual places, including in bins.

A bin lorry was seen on CCTV near Brentgovel Street in the town around the time Mr McKeague was last seen, and it took a route which appeared to coincide with the movements of his phone.

DS Elliott said: “We have searched the whole area where we believed Corrie could be.

“We had compelling informatio­n that directed us to this area, the latest script was only delivered by courier to his house l ast week – and filming begins tomorrow.

Gavin, 52, said : “It’s cloak and dagger because everything is top secret.

“I know nothing about the storyline until I open the envelope.

“It’s kind of weird because you never know what wee journey you will go on and however we haven’t found Corrie and this is bitterly disappoint­ing.

“It’s never been about money in this i n v e s t i g a t i o n . We have searched the areas where we have informatio­n where that waste was deposited.

“Beyond that it’s very difficult to establish exactly where we would search for Corrie.

“Without anything further to tell us where he might be, on such a vast site, the search cannot continue”.

Asked if she thought Mr McKeague was still in the landfill site, she replied: “I do.”

Mr McKeague’s girlfriend April Oliver announced last month the missing serviceman had become a father with the birth of their daughter. you kind of open it with excitement and trepidatio­n.”

Gavin and his Still Game co- stars have been heavily nominated at this year’s Scottish Comedy Awards which take place in Edinburgh’s Le Monde hotel on August 1.

He said: “It’s smashing because we are in highly esteemed company. ”

Gavin added: “I t ’s fantastic that Jane McCarry ( Isa) and Ford Kiernan ( Jack) are also up for best actress and actor, too.

Show co- creator Greg Hemphill, who plays Victor, joked online: “We start filming the new series of Still Game on Monday. If you see us out and about, shout ‘ Two pints, p*** k!’ at us.”
