The BBC drama series “The Young Team” has started filming in Glasgow, with production underway in areas including Govan and North Lanarkshire. The six-part fictional show is based on novelist Graeme Armstrong’s work and focuses on gang violence.
Outlets report a star-studded cast. The Herald Scotland and Glasgow Times name principal actors Jakob James Smith, Connor Newall and Scot Greenan. The Daily Record also highlights additional international recognition among the cast, referring to actors known from other TV dramas. While coverage emphasizes different aspects—local filming locations, cast profiles, and the series’ source material—each account frames the production as a new BBC adaptation built around the experiences and consequences of criminal gangs in Scotland.
