Anyone watching? I love this series and fancy Perez Grin He seems to have some extra timber on him.. I don’t like him in a suit, much prefer a fishermans knitted jumper on him..

Where were we left when the last series ended? Did he get together with someone? Someone who seemed to have shady motives? I can’t remember!

I think it's probably safer living in Mogadishu

🤣🤣 - but I think the fishing is better in Shetland 😉

Nurse O'Flirty (love it) does seem very persistent. Maybe a career dealing with dying folks can make you like that.
Perez snr played a good part, nice ending.
I'm glad Tosh is pregnant and happy. That rape was horrifying, so I'm pleased that she can have a relationship with a decent man.
I didn't find that Fiscal particularly convincing, but maybe she didn't have much to work with.

@FluffyBooBoo - I hate fish, so it's Mogadishu for me. Mind you, I do like cake...(conflicted)

They do seem to have a higher than average fertility rate
Maybe it's to make up for the higher than average murder rate Grin

The murder rate is giving Midsummer a run for their money.

I hope Storm Arwen hasn't blown The Cake Fridges over.

It would be a public duty to stand downwind with your mouth open and catch as many flying cakes as possible @SirSamuelVimes Shock = demonstration of what to do.

Very late to the thread - just got to watch it this weekend.

  1. bemused at all the fuss around a cake fridge. Surely it’s the most natural thing in the world? 😁
  2. Brian blessed who played Magnus Tait did a good Shetland accent.
  3. I always thought Sandy was from Unst. Mind blown!
  4. burying a body on fetlar - easy peasy.

Could we have Cake Fridge Cam?Like they do for the peregrines nesting at Sheffield university

Ooh you’d trap far too many with a cake fridge - there’d be guilty (of seconds) everywhere.

I think Tosh’s face could carry an entire episode. It’s so wonderfully expressive.

Wondering if this is from experience?!

Of the reasons to enjoy Shetland - like the scenery, Jimmy's sweaters, Sandy's accent, Nurse O'Flirty being flirty, Billy being Billy, the Cake Fridge - Tosh is high up there for me. Different hair colour, but she reminds me of an old Edinburgh friend I lost touch with but remember fondly - similar looking, with that highly entertaining expressive face and eyes.

The actress who plays Tosh is a Dublin-born Irish lass.

I’m a woman in Shetland. It’d be more strange had I not disposed of a body or two in a peat bog.

I can't believe how Tosh belies her age.
I thought she was 23ish 😮

Are there any Sandy fans reading? I've just seen that 'Inside I'm Dancing' is on Netflix.
