The Control Room
One call can change everything.
Created by Nick Leather
On BBC One
A tense, claustrophobic three-episode drama built around a single catastrophic phone call that forces an ordinary man to confront an impossible choice with life-or-death stakes.
The story of Gabe, an ordinary man who works as an emergency call handler for the Scottish Ambulance Service in Glasgow. His world is turned upside down when he receives a desperate life-and-death call from a woman who appears to know him. With Gabe under pressure to work out who she is, he makes a decision that threatens to have devastating consequences.
