Next week bloody football apparently takes priority - but Shetland is back the week following...

Thanks so much, both, for reminding me of this. It's classy, indeed.
Originally posted by Richard Tarleton View PostI don't think it's been deemed worthy of a thread of its own in the past but "Shetland" is back for a third series on Friday - sort of Scandi without the subtitles. And instead of a blonde female lead we have Douglas Henshall, a mesmerising actor. Worth a try if you haven't before.
(Saw him live a few years ago, playing one of Willy Loman's sons, with Brian Dennehy titanic as the eponymous 'Salesman' - overwhelming.)"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I'm sure she can expect a patronising reply...Last edited by pastoralguy; 24-01-16, 19:42.

The last series was based entirely on Fair Isle, in and around the bird observatory, making for a suitably Agatha Christie-ish claustrophobic atmosphere. There was the obligatory ornithological solecism (see 'Endeavour' thread) but apart from that was excellent, as was the first series.

I thought that the serious issue concerning Tosh was handled extremely sensitively and well in episode 5. It added much to this really enjoyable series. James Cosmo scary...I look forward to the final episode next week...in the meantime I see they are showing season 1 on the Drama channel starting this Wednesday. Haven't seen either of the previous series.

Is it really the final episode next? The series has zipped along. But we'll have to wait another week to see the conclusion - some twit (apologies for the typo) at the Beeb has decided that this Friday evening will be devoted to watching men with oval balls stuffing their faces into each others' bottoms![FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]

For those who haven't seen it - Ann Cleeve wrote an article in the Guardian at the weekend about the rape, well worth reading (although she didn't script it, this series is based on her novels) http://www.theguardian.com/commentis...-horror-enough
I only discovered the Drama channel at the weekend (they were showing the complete BBC 2011 Great Expectations), I think it said the original Shetlands would start on Wednesday 9th March? I recall we had a thread about them, a lot of talk about Brian Cox and wavering accents!
