Filming has started on the new season of BBC Scotland’s crime comedy series Scot Squad.

Production began in Glasgow this week.

Returning cast members in Season 3 include Jack Docherty, Jordan Young, Sally Reid, Darren Connell, Grado, Manjot Sumal, Chris Forbes, Ashley Smith, James Kirk, Karen Bartke and ML Stone as Scotland’s band of Bravehearts, doing their duty to protect and serve.

Scot Squad will be back for seven new episodes, including a festive special.

Executive producer Rab Christie commented: “The Comedy Unit is delighted to be filming a third series of Scot Squad for BBC Scotland. From Chief to Volunteer, the nation’s heroes are pumped and ready to get back out and tackle crime in all its guises – on the street, on the phone, at the desk. The cast of cops and robbers includes brand new comic talent, familiar faces and one or two national treasures who rub shoulders with the Squad.”

Ewan Angus, BBC Scotland’s executive producer, added: “It’ll be great to welcome the Squad back. The previous series have been in high demand as a training resource for police forces worldwide.”

Season 3 will continue filming around Glasgow for the next six weeks and is expected to air on BBC One Scotland this winter.
