It is understood filming will take place for a mystery BBC comedy as Glasgow City Council confirms vehicle restrictions.

Sections of Erskine Avenue and Beech Avenue will be shut to all vehicles apart from emergency services or those given permission by the council. The name of the comedy show is unclear.

The BBC previously said new Scottish comedy Titans starring Gary Tank Commander’s Greg McHugh and Rab C Nesbitt’s Gregor Fisher would be shot in Glasgow and the north east.
