Ooh - Shetland, BBC1

[CocktailQueen]

Anyone see Shetland tonight? New drama series on BBC1?

I liked it! Nice to see the scenery, plus Scottish accents on a BEeb programme.

Yes, but Glasgow policeman also had black hair! V confusing ;)

Maybe the Glasgow policeman helped set up a fake Tosh disappearance to lure the bad guys into the club.

I think the leather-jacket Glaswegian polis is a baddun - I think digestive man is going to be most irate that someone's messed with his Tosh and I think we can expect him to whack someone with a 2 by 4 at some point whilst stalking Tosh.

Bloke at the airport definitely a baddie, plied her with booze, didn't have a flight to catch... but too good looking to resist.

I've only just managed to watch the latest episode. It's all a little confusing. Who were all the posh people in the Glasgow restaurant where Rhona and her lady friend went in and Rhona left saying she'd rather get a fish supper? It was the same Asian solicitor as came to warn Jimmy off on Shetland.

I think Anna Chancellor said when they went in, that he was the tame solicitor to the big bad gang boss (no idea what he is called). Then he was smarmy and Rhona didn't like it.
Are those two an item?

Yes I think they are

Yes I'm sure they are a couple. Smarmy restaurant guy is mccolls lawyer, was schmoozing other clients (in the ubiquitous chip? )

Some of you need to watch the programme properly and stop "multi-tasking"!

Who is the solicitor? He is gorrrrrrgeous and I just can't place his face?

Yes, Rhona is gay.

The solicitor is played by Ace Bhatti.

He's been in quite a bit of stuff including The Bill &Eastenders.

He was in The Shadow Line.

Felt a bit bad for the tame solicitor - he's clearly a late developer in the area of conscience and not keen to read of Perez's limbs (or relatives' limbs) being scattered across northern Europe.

I absolutely demand an appearance by the roadkill artist tonight. It's obvious that after a good scrub and a couple of etiquette lessons he would be the catch of the century.

Thank you diddl - that's me lost in google image search before school pick up. Oh my, I see he's from Nottingham, I thought his Glaswegian accent was the real deal and I was S.O.L.D!

Im loving it.

And why's Kalinda wandered in from The a Good a Wife?!!

Although thank god, as I love that programme but detest her caricature of a role in it

Anyone else cried yet? :(

Really powerful stuff; poor Tosh.

Terrible.

Knew it would be bad but hoping not that.

Looking at Radio Times & it looks to not be on next week as there's rugby on??!!

Hope I've misread.

Oh I'm crying now.

Me too!

2weeks!!

Wow! Without a doubt the best drama I've watched on TV in months - probably since Dr Foster. That scene with Billy.

Wept throughout. Very well done. The actress playing Tosh is brilliant. Also don't trust ASHER btw.

Hasn't there already been a two week gap due to football?

Oh god. That was utterly heart rending.

I'm glad though that the impact of rape is getting shown though,plus an acknowledgement of how the police do not do enough for rape conviction.

Brilliantly acted by Alison O'Donnell.

Yes that last scene with Billy was wonderful.

Libra Asha has sooooo got it going on with my sexy evil lawyer - she said she moved to Glasgow and met a guy... didn't say anything about leaving him.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

And digestive man was lovely.
