*Warning: Spoilers for BBC series Vigil below*
MARTIN Compston has teased fans with a cheeky hint about his upcoming Amazon Prime Series The Rig.
The six-part Amazon Prime Video series recently finished filming in Edinburgh and is due for release some time in 2022.
The series will tell the story of a North Sea oil rig off the Scottish coast which gets cut off from all communication with the shore and the outside world due to earth tremors.

In teaser images released today, Compston can be seen in character wearing an orange boiler suit at work aboard an oil rig.
The Greenock-born actor shared the images out on his Twitter page, and later teased fans with a hint at plot points for the upcoming show.
Referencing many fans’ disappointment to see his character killed off within the first ten minutes of the new BBC series Vigil, Compston wrote: “Can confirm I don’t die in first ten minutes, after that it’s every boiler suit for themselves.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
