Production Notes
»
2 Jul 2007: BBC News Report - There was a terrorist attack in Glasgow the day before filming was due to take place, so the production team only carried on with the explosion with agreement from the police. There were warnings broadcast during the day warning residents of the filming (this generated a crowd of onlookers!).
