The first-look trailer for Benedict Cumberbatch's new TV show that was filmed in Glasgow has been released.

The Sherlock actor is playing the lead role in new Sky Atlantic mini-series, Melrose.

Last year the production team behind the show, based on the classic Edward St Aubyn novels, transformed Glasgow into the Big Apple for filming. 

Glasgow Times:

Yellow taxis lined city centre streets, which were made out to look like Lexington Avenue and East 52 Street.

A classic hot dog stand, newspaper vending machines and a colourful florist stall were all put in place on the fictional New York street.

Oscar-nominated Cumberbatch was seen wearing an eye patch over his right eye, as he walked through Glasgow city centre.

Each episode of the five-part series will be based on a different book and will take place over a few intense days in Melrose's life.

The series will be available in the UK and Ireland on Sky Atlantic and TV streaming service NOW TV later this year.
