00:00 I'm here at Peatville Terrace where filming is taking place for the new drama series Flight 103
00:05 being carried out by Carnival Productions.
00:08 The five-parter will be about the Lochaber disaster in 1988.
00:12 The Longstone Street was transformed ahead of filming by the TV crew
00:18 with Christmas decorations placed in the gardens and front windows of the properties.
00:28 Large lights were also brought onto the temporary film set in Longstone
00:32 ahead of some evening filming on Wednesday night.
00:35 Locals gathered particularly in the evening to catch a glimpse of filming
00:41 but unfortunately most were disappointed.
00:43 Vintage cars were also placed on the driveways of the Longstone Street
00:50 to transform the street into 1988 Walkerway
00:55 with emergency service vehicles also in attendance on one night of filming
00:59 with gravel scattered across the street to make it look like a disaster zone.
01:03 With the road now reopened to the public and the cleanup operation beginning on Thursday morning
01:12 this is two days of filming that locals will never forget.
