The Sherlock actor has been filming around Glasgow over the past few days, with streets in the city centre standing in for Manhattan.
The Barras was transformed to look like a New York meat market on Wednesday, with American signs on the shop fronts.
The show is a Sky Atlantic and Showtime venture (Andrew Milligan/PA Wire)
Period drama Melrose is based on Edward St Aubyn’s acclaimed series of semi-autobiographical Patrick Melrose novels.
As well as starring in the titular role, Cumberbatch will serve as the executive producer.
