A furnishing company who were brought in for the Edinburgh-based series have said they are 'proud'.
Joanne's Soft Furnishings were on set to help decorate, and fitted the details for one lavish location in Department Q - which recently landed on Netflix. At Vogrie House, which was transformed into to a care home with dodgy goings on in the show, the company fitted out the 'curtains, swags and tails'.
They've said they feel 'so lucky' to have played a part in the series. Department Q has become a hit since it joined Netflix, quickly taking up the number one spot.
Posting to Facebook, the furnishing's company said: "Feeling so lucky to have worked as a set dresser on Department Q, the new Netflix series!
"For one of the sets, we created and fitted the curtains, swags and tails—such a fun and detailed process. Proud to have added a little something to this incredible production!"

They weren't the only local experts brought in for filming of the series. Heather Muir, a contact lens technician at independent practice in the capital, played a behind-the-scenes role in the show.
A 'seasoned expert' in handling contact lenses, Heather was brought on for specialist support. Heather commented on her experience while on set, saying: "It was an incredible experience to collaborate with such a talented production team.
"Blending medical expertise with the creative world of television was a unique opportunity, and it was a memorable experience to be on location with the production team."
