STRICTLY SINATRA

GB
2001
1hr 37mins
Dir: Peter Capaldi
Starring: Ian Hart and Kelly Macdonald

A Sinatra-style lounge singer finds himself on the receiving end of the threatening attentions of a gangster

This drama is filmed in and around Glasgow and features trains in two scenes. In the first, Ian Hart walks beside a railway line and a couple of Class 314 EMU’s pass close by in the background. The second scene shows Class 158 ‘Sprinter’ DMU No.158738 arriving at Glasgow Queen Street station. The 158 is in original Regional Railways-style livery and in a closeup platform shot that follows, a similar coloured unit (possibly the same) can be seen coupled to one in the newer ScotRail livery of purple, green and white.

Ian Hart stops to chat to a stranger. Or is he more interested in the approaching Class 314 EMU?
As he continues up the road, the EMU runs behind him. Depending on which side of the railway line Ian is on, this is either Salkeld Street or Eglinton Street in the centre of Glasgow.
