What has Iain De Caestecker said about BBC's The Control Room?
Iain has opened up about his role as Gabe, telling the BBC in part: "I would say it's one of the most exciting scripts I've ever read and it was a page-turner from start to finish. I just had to know how it ended. Nick [Leather] has a way of using very relatable and universal themes and emotions. The characters are not two-dimensional.
"There's also a coming-of-age quality to it as well. Nick is a master writer of suspense and it leaves you on the edge of your seat. It's nail-biting but it has a more sensitive side as well."
