Four siblings have a night of differing fortunes prior to their mother’s funeral

This obscure Scottish black comedy is filmed entirely in Glasgow and includes a very rare scene on the Glasgow Underground with Douglas Henshall onboard a train, which he then leaves at Kinning Park station. The scene opens with an over the camera shot of one of the 1970s-built Metro-Cammell units.

This very unusual over the camera shot of a Glasgow Underground ‘Clockwork Orange’ opens the brief scene filmed on the network

As the train pulls into a station Douglas Henshall gets up, ready to alight. The word ‘Park’ is visible through the left hand window, and with only one station on the network using this suffix, the station is Kinning Park.
