1/4 - The Black Book

Having been dumped by his new girlfriend, it's little wonder DI John Rebus (Ken Stott) is in a malodorous mood. "Ah've been chucked!" he bellows to no-one in particular, before stomping off to do what he always does when he's locked in a conundrum that's beyond his otherwise prodigious ken: he goes to the pub. Thankfully, there's a brutal murder for Rebus to solve, its complexity and unusualness - the suffocation of a prostitute leads to the discovery of a book written in ancient code - reducing the number of opportunities for sozzled self-analysis. It's not the best start to a new series: the dialogue's shoddy and the story feels horribly compressed. Still, Stott is superb, and there's lots of lovely Edinburgh scenery to take the edge off the boozy gloom.

Love the books but dont feel that either actor who has played him is quite right for the role.Dunno who Id get to play him though!!!

I am a sad square eyed couch potato - very happy at the thought of this followed by Jonathan Ross
Love Rebus, love Ken Stott.
