Glasgow is poised to reap the rewards of the "pink pound" tourism market as BBC drama series Lip Service returns to television screens this month.

Set and filmed in Glasgow, the show - which charts the lives and loves of 20 and 30-something lesbians - showcases a hip and funky side of the city.

It is hoped the popular series, which has drawn an average of half-a-million viewers, will help attract a fresh batch of "set-jetters", the name given to fans who visit locations where their favourite television shows and films are made.

Television and film production generated more than £20 million for the Glasgow economy in 2011, according to the Glasgow Film Office.
