A KILBIRNIE wedding venue was transformed into a film-set for a popular new comedy series recently.

Moorpark House was given the Hollywood treatment as the cast of hit TV series Scrotal Recall filmed wedding scenes for the show in August.

Leading stars Johnny Flynn (Dylan), Daniel Ings (Luke) and Antonia Thomas (Evie) turned out for the wedding event as part of Dylan’s journey of self-discovery following his Chlamydia diagnosis.

The six-part series, which follows Dylan’s attempt to contact every girl he’s ever slept with after being diagnosed with the sexually transmitted disease, was filmed over four days at the venue.

A Moorpark House source said: “I was working during filming and it was very exciting to see Moorpark as a film-set.

“They stripped out half of the bar and the reception and replaced it.

"They also renamed it as the Stoke Court Hotel, which was a wee bit odd, I thought they’d have kept it as Moorpark House.

“They were there from the Thursday to the Sunday and everybody that was there was really nice.” The source added: “There was quite a lot of staff, film crew and extras coming in and out as and when they were needed, with loads of trailers parked on the grounds.

“I watched some of the filming and I could see some of the scenes being acted out.

"It was a bit surreal but I’m looking forward to seeing the show on TV now.” Charlie Leech, the show’s producer, explained why Moorpark House was chosen, adding: “The location was chosen as it was ideal for our needs.

"A country house hotel we could stage a wedding within easy reach of Glasgow, our main filming location.

"Filming there took place last August.”
