Gary: Tank Commander is a BAFTA award-winning[1] Scottish sitcom, written and created by Greg McHugh, and produced by the Comedy Unit.
Clydebank has also featured as the "town centre" (episodes 1 and 3) and a location in Kirkintilloch was used for the Iraq army camp scenes (apparently, a section of land and a human-made hole were employed), both appearing in the first season.
[citation needed] The second series was again filmed at East Kilbride TA Centre and Maryhill, with Cambuslang's Dechmont ranges included.
Locations also included the small village of Milton of Campsie, most notably the old railway line, used in the storyline that features the scattering of Gary's mother's ashes.
[10][11][12] The original pilot was filmed as a mockumentary, with interviews, archive news material, YouTube-style videos and "fly-on-the-wall" footage following Gary's return home from Iraq.
