Sharon Rooney has joined the cast of new BBC thriller, The Control Room.

The Scottish drama has just started filming, in Sharon’s hometown of Glasgow.

Iain De Caestecker (Roadkill) and Joanna Vanderham (The Paradise) lead an ensemble cast which also includes Daniel Portman from Game of Thrones, Taj Atwal from Line of Duty and Stuart Bowman from The Bodyguard. 

The Control Room follows the story of ambulance service emergency call handler Gabe, played by De Caestecker, who has his world 'turned upside down when he receives a desperate life-and-death call from a woman who appears to know him’, according to the BBC.

It is written by Nick Leather (who also wrote Murdered For Being Different, starring My Mad Fat Diary’s Nico Mirallegro) and directed by Amy Neil (Hanna, Trust Me).
