He’s one of Scotland’s most successful actors and now Line Of Duty star Martin Compston is embarking on an unforgettable trip around his beloved homeland.

Produced by Tern Television, the new series for BBC Two and BBC iPlayer follows star as he returns to Scotland from his family home in Las Vegas.

Reuniting with his friend Phil MacHugh, together they set off on an immersive and personal journey to showcase what makes modern Scotland tick, finding out who are the people and places shaping the future of one of the greatest small countries in the world today.

In Martin Compston’s Scottish Fling, the boys travel all over Scotland. Across six episodes, they go beyond the beaten track to get stuck into the most exciting experiences their nation has to offer, meeting a diverse and surprising mix of locals – plus the odd famous friend.

Pushed out of their comfort zone, Martin and Phil experience their homeland at its very best and most extreme. With their real-life relationship guaranteeing authentic and unfiltered laughs, the pair bring a fresh and uplifting perspective to contemporary Scottish culture.

Martin said: “I've travelled all over the country for work and leisure but this is the first time I'll be meeting real modern Scots on camera, sharing their thoughts and passions. We’re excited to get stuck in, and to experience the best that Scotland has to offer in the 21st century.”

The series will be screened later this year.
