BBC drama The Young Team has begun filming in Govan. The six-part fictional series is produced by the BBC with FOX Entertainment Global, which will distribute worldwide, alongside Screen Scotland, BBC iPlayer, BBC One and BBC Scotland.

The story follows 15-year-old Alan 'Azzy' Williams and his friends on a Friday night in Airdrie as they carry bottles of tonic wine, listen to music and want to join a local gang called The YTP. When Azzy makes a move to prove himself, a gang conflict begins and puts him at the centre of it.

The cast includes Jakob James Smith, who starred in Mobland, as Azzy; Connor Newall, from 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, as Big Kenzie; and Scot Greenan, known for T2 Trainspotting, as Eck. They are joined by emerging talent from across Glasgow and North Lanarkshire.

The series will explore friendship, identity, territorial violence and belonging whilst examining addiction, gang violence and the lives of young people who feel left out of society.
