Glasgow City Chambers has been taken over by production crews as filming for a new Apple TV show soldiers on through the heatwave.
Dozens of actresses decked out in Victorian bustles and crinolines queued up for catering on Virginia Street during a break from filming today.
Decked out in all shades of white and light pink, heads adorned with glamourous ostrich feathers, the cast could be seen sipping water and fanning off in the unusual Glasgow heat.
Based on Edith Wharton’s final and unfinished novel The Buccaneers, the untitled series has been temporarily dubbed ‘Debutante’.
The eight-episode series will star Kristine Froseth, known for The Interview, and 13 Reasons Why’s Alisha Boe, along with actresses Josie Totah, Aubri Ibrag, Imogen Waterhouse, and Mia Threaple.

UK-based production company The Forge Entertainment, helmed by Emmy-nominated George Faber, has been tasked with bringing the series to life.
In a press release, Apple TV gives the logline: “Girls with money, men with power. New money, old secrets.
“A group of fun-loving young American girls explode into the tightly corseted London season of the 1870s, kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash as the land of the stiff upper lip is infiltrated by a refreshing disregard for centuries of tradition.”
The costume drama is the latest in a lengthy list of big productions filmed in Glasgow and associated road closures are expected around the City Chambers through Wednesday.
