WITH her bleached blonde hair and leopard print ensemble and dripping with gold jewellery, you could be forgiven for mistaking Oscar-winning Emma Thompson for another screen siren -Coronation Street legend Bet Lynch.

The actress was in Glasgow yesterday filming cult thriller The Legend of Barney Thomson, amid the rubble of the Red Road flats. She was seen in the throes of a fiery row with Robert Carlyle who is making his directorial debut and also playing the title role. But Gerry Nichol, 52, who was watching from his flat said it was part of a scene.
