TV Review: The Control Room is the perfect three-part telly snack for summer 

The BBC one show is a neat, punchy thriller with decent characters and a couple of gotcha twists

Gabe works in the Control Room as an emergency call-handler for the ambulance service in Glasgow. Picture: BBC/Hartswood Films/Jamie Simpson.

The Control Room (BBC One and BBC iPlayer) isn’t perfect.

But it’s fast and twisty and set in Glasgow, where the accents make everyone sound 10% more angst ridden and desperate.
