Beautiful Scotland,

This review is from: Hamish Macbeth S1-3 Collection (DVD)
Hamish Macbeth is based on a series of books by M. C. Beaton (Death of a Gossip) is the first of the series and differ quite a bit in the storyline, but I am a fan of both. The main character police officer Hamish Macbeth is played by Robert Carlyle. It ran for three series between 1995 and 1997, with the first two series having six episodes and the third having eight.MacBeth, aided by his dog, a West Highland Terrier named Wee Jock, keeps the peace in his own way without undue reliance on the letter of the law, and with every intention of avoiding being promoted out of what was his ideal job. Running themes include the tensions caused by Hamish's attraction to both the local journalist Isobel Sutherland (Shirley Henderson also in Harry Potter films as Moaning Murtle) and the aristocratic Alex (Valerie Gogan); and the claimed supernatural powers of Hamish's friend and co-worker "TV" John McIver (Ralph Riach). The series had a slightly surreal quality to it, enhanced by the eerie celtic music of John Lunn. It was filmed on location in the village of Plockton, the town of Kyle of Lochalsh and the surrounding area it is worth watching just for the fantastic mountain scenes. The series were released on DVD with the exception of the first series episode West Coast Story. This was due to rights issues surrounding the episode's extensive use of excerpts from West Side Story. Try and see this episode on bbc america because it introduces the recurring character of "Zoot" he is always a laugh. Hamish MacBeth: Series 1-3 Collection

simply the best,
By gladryna (West Coast) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hamish Macbeth S1-3 Collection (DVD)
Hamish Macbeth is simply the best series going. Robert Carlyle is amazing, the setting (Plockton) is so beautiful you will want to move there, and the folks will become your friends. Tongue in cheek comedy merged with shocking drama--only the British can pull this off. After you've watched all three series you will crave them again and again.

Gotta Love this Show,
This review is from: Hamish Macbeth S1-3 Collection (DVD)
I was so happy to finally have access to this DVD collection. I loved it when it first came out, and now to watch it again is a treat. I had forgotten and missed some of the episodes when it originally aired, so I am a happy camper. So quirky and delicious. What's not to love if you love Britcoms...a classic.
