RESTRICTIONS are planned on a number of Glasgow’s roads over the next few weeks as filming for a new BBC comedy series takes place.
Shooting of the six-part show Dinosaur has already got under way in the city, and the council has confirmed the closures required until September 11.
Dinosaur is the latest series from Two Brother Pictures, the team behind Fleabag, Back to Life and The Tourist — and will be shown on BBC Three and BBC Scotland.
Created by Matilda Curtis and Ashley Storrie, the series will follow Nina (Storrie), an autistic woman in her 30s, who adores her life living with her sister and best friend Evie, the BBC has said.

When Evie rushes into an engagement after only six weeks and makes Nina her maid of honour, Nina is “forced to reconcile with her sister’s impulsive decision”. “Nina grapples with what this new challenge means, leading to a surprising journey of self-discovery.”
The show stars Kat Ronney as Evie as well as David Carlyle (It’s A Sin), Lorn Macdonald (BEATS, Bridgerton) and Danny Ashok (Roadkill).
Still Game’s Greg Hemphill and Sanjeev Kohli and River City’s Sally Howitt will have supporting roles.

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!
