GRANITE HARBOUR. FRI 7pm bbc1. TV PACE NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

New drama. Weird on at 7pm

a trainee detective is thrown in at the deep end after. A death of a local magnate

dawn Steele plays DCI Dora Macmillan who is exasperated by new trainee Davis Lindo

he wanted to train at new Scotland Yard and instead finds hisself dispatched to Aberdeenshire

I also gave up on black sands

which is rare for me but as much as I love subtitles

I want English in the background 😂

I did enjoy this though

have seen all of Agatha

can’t think of what the other police drama I was watching. Think was on bbc afternoons and half the village seemed to be related

they lived in a costal bit. Had a pub police station and that’s about it

set reminded me of ballamory due to house colours

@Blondeshavemorefun Were you thinking of Hope Street and if so is it worth a watch?

Yes that’s it’s @lazymum99

great detective work

how did you find it

yes worth a watch. S2 should be out soon

When are Episodes 2 and 3 being shown ?

I'm watching it on BBC Northern Ireland and I can't find episodes 2 & 3.
FFS

Next week I assume

stop bingeing @LadyEloise1

i thought better of you !!!

I’ve watched all 3 now @LadyEloise1 they are showing as BBC Scotland
@Blondeshavemorefun I found Hope street by googling Irish police drama bbc. Not a very sophisticated method 😅

And iPlayer is showing 2 series.

I can only get BBC 1&2 Northern Ireland.
Anyone know when ep 2&3 will be shown there ?

Why do they drive along the beach so much?

Am definitely no expert but the Davis Lindos character’s accent sounds annoyingly fake to me, as soon as I notice I can’t stop noticing!

I'm fae Aberdeen
Theyve played Round with geography so much I can't take it seriously not to mention the accents

Surely to god there must be Aberdonian actors

I didn’t spot a one.

@lazymum99 im impressed with your skills

not your binging 😂😛

Is this really the best they can do? Terrible script. Horrible Scottish police with the exception of 'Bart'. How many days did they film in Aberdeen? Hardly any as they keep showing the same bits of film constantly along by the beach. I am wondering if they have completely avoided Union Street because there are so many closed-down businesses there now.
Similarly slow vibe to Shetland (gone downhill massively) but without any likeable characters.
I have watched 2 of 3 and really couldn't care less who did it.

Yeah I am just watching for 'spot the location'. I think someone really did pitch it as a 'Scottish Death in Paradise' but Aberdeen, lovely though it is, is no St Marie. Also, feels very budgety... shame.

Caught up on ep1. I like it. I think they're going to be an interesting team.

I’m just so disappointed they went for this as opposed to going for Stuart MacBride’s Logan McRae series.

those books would make a worthy rival to Morse/Taggart/Rebus etc.

I still like it though 😁

I liked it

but regulars know I’m easily pleased

only seen e1

assume 2 on this week. Must check planner

E2 will be on wed at 8pm bbc1

My OH commented that as the white van was driving at speed into a dead end down Windmill Brae at the end of episode 1 they would be quite easy to catch!

Thought the bits of Aberdeen seen looked good though the flat near the harbour was definitely somewhere else - Dundee maybe? Some odd shots driving along streets of honey-coloured sandstone houses that looked like Glasgow/Edinburgh and some very odd station to flat journeys like Robin Hood going home via Hadrian's Wall, though maybe he was just sightseeing!

Marischal College looked imposing and there was a wee glimpse of Mackies lovely ice-cream parlour as well. Not many local accents but then Aberdeen is fairly cosmopolitan and full of Scottish people from all over.

Will watch next week!

@TabbyM i love watching stuff that is local

It appears to be on BBC 1 Northern Ireland on Wednesday at 8 pm
🙄

Is that not a good thing @LadyEloise1
