BBC Scotland filming Mission:2110 game show
MUMBAI: BBC Scotland is currently in Argyll filming Mission:2110, an ambitious and bold new 13-episode sci-fi game show for kids channel CBBC from the team behind Raven.
Set in a post-apocalyptic landscape, each episode has a team of four contestants span time and space to travel to the futuristic setting of our planet, long after mankind has disappeared, to try to restore peace and stability.
The young recruits, guided by their mentor Caleb, have to battle, in a series of missions, against the Roboidz – intelligent towering cybernetic entities who now rule Earth – snatching Bio-Rods, the enemy‘s vital fuel source, in order to shut down their empire.
The sheer size and scale of the mighty Roboidz was such that the production team needed to find an alternative location to the traditional studio format to create Future Gate, the Roboidz base.
After scouting numerous locations the production crew discovered that the empty container ships based on Loch Striven on the Clyde would provide them with the the industrial background needed to create a suitable backdrop.
Production has already begun on the ships and filming is set to continue until early March after which state-of-the-art compositing and computer-generated work will bring the futuristic world alive.
The show will air later this year.
