RadioTimes.com<\/a><\/strong> has\u00a0got our hands on some exclusive behind the scenes photos, giving fans an insight into the huge amount of work that went into bringing the show to our screens.<\/p>\n Suranne Jones stars in the hit series as Detective Chief Inspector Amy Silva, who is sent to join the crew of a nuclear submarine while she investigates a murder that occurred on board.<\/p>\n From the producers of mega-hit Line of Duty<\/a>, the series has kept viewers hooked week-in week-out with its epic twists, and will come to an end this weekend with its sixth episode.<\/p> Lead director and executive producer James Strong took a number of photos during the show\u2019s production, which have now been released to\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/strong>, revealing what went on behind-the-scenes.<\/p>\n The first image sees Strong and Jones taking a short break from filming in the Scottish countryside, with the show\u2019s filming locations including Cumbrae, a small island off the coast of Largs, and Hunterson a small town in Ayrshire.<\/p>\n Vigil stands out from most British crime dramas on television thanks to its unique location and stunts, opening with a white-knuckle helicopter ride for Jones\u2019 Amy Silva.<\/p>\n A set photo reveals the elaborate set up that was required to bring that sequence to life, with a green screen, crane, lorries and plenty of crew members drafted to help out.<\/p>\n The end result was well worth the effort, with Strong revealing a previously unseen perspective by taking a snap of Jones on board the craft as the crew prepared to start filming.<\/p>\n Co-star Rose Leslie, who plays Detective Sergeant Kirsten Longacre was also present for these dramatic scenes, smiling for another of Strong\u2019s photos between takes.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Strong also captured a photo of the epic set constructed for Vigil, which gave the cast a convincing taste of what an actual submarine experience would feel like.<\/p>\n In a previous interview<\/a> with\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/strong>, he said: \u201cCreating HMS Vigil was an enormous endeavour, brilliantly carried out by designer Tom Sayer and his team,\u201d he said. \u201cIt looked incredible, was a great place to shoot and yet always felt utterly real.\u201d<\/p>\n Vigil concludes this Sunday at 9pm on BBC One.
