Martin Compston has revealed his latest Glasgow drama, about a couple accused of child abuse, has left him afraid that modern technology in our homes is spying on us.The Line of Duty actor, 40, stars in the psychological drama Fear which is coming to Amazon Prime on March 4.He stars as architect Martyn alongside Vigil’s Anjli Mohindra as his wife Rebecca, who have moved from London to Glasgow’s affluent West End to live in a stunning townhouse.Soon things unravel as the pair fall under suspicion.Compston said: “It’s this young family who, for all intents and purposes, seem like a proper little team.

They’ve made this – instigated by Martyn, by his career – this big jump back to Glasgow from London, and they’ve bought this incredible house, which is pretty much a character on its own.“And I know that area of Glasgow, even for me growing up, was quite a famed area where you had all the footballers and lawyers and all that kind of thing, so it’s a beautiful part of town.

They’ve maybe mortgaged themselves up to the hilt and gave everything they’ve had to buy this dream home.“They get there, and it starts well.

They have a neighbour – played by the wonderful Solly McLeod – and things take a bit of a turn.”The apparently friendly and solitary neighbour, Jan, living in their basement becomes an intimidating presence and the pair soon come to believe their smart tech is being used against them.“It’d be your worst nightmare as a parent, this stuff,” he said."In this day and age as well, any sort of thing that gets thrown at you seems to stick without any kind of evidence.
