but not buy

Generally, Perez looks like I'd expect him to buy I did think he'd shave before the tribunal..
Give Tosh his job. If it's Martin Compston that's me not watching. Can't stand him.

You haven't upset me either ,I do think its a shame people focus on an actor for the wrong reasons though .In the case of Jimmy Perez Dougie was exactly right for man at the end of his .

Marydoll Fri 16-Sept-22 17:09:08

You certainly havent' upset me, Kate.

NanKate Fri 16-Sept-22 17:00:21

If I have upset anyone on this thread with my comments apologies. ?

I didn’t expect him to look like James Bond it was just an observation. He’s a good actor.

I'd never criticise Dougie!! ?

Poor Dougie! Our bodies are so perfect, aren't they? ?

I'll have you know my abs are in fine shape, practically perfect in every way wink

I have to defend Dougie, because he is a local boy! ?

I agree with paddyann

Let's hope he gets his pension.

I like Rhona, she tough but has much more understanding than the other PF.

I agree ^paddyann*. I knew it was the end for him when he said" I'm done!"

paddyann54 Fri 16-Sept-22 11:28:02

nankate it wouldn't have suited the storyline if he had been full of the joys and looking dapper .I thought...and its only my opinion that he did a great job of the story looked the part and acted it well.He WAS a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders ,scared to take a chance at happiness and sticking with his principles.
It wouldn't have worked for me if he had been a James Bond type .

Ooh a man with a bit of a belly! Heaven forbid! Are we getting just as critical of male bodies as we are of women's?

Dougie Henshall is great in the scary film "The Small Hand" It's a great ghost story.

Luckygirl3 Thu 15-Sept-22 22:40:49

Yes - the sweater was indeed unforgiving. He needed at least one size bigger!

NanKate Thu 15-Sept-22 22:16:01

I enjoyed the series.

I did think that Dougie Henshall had gone a bit to seed and aged since the last series. I know he was meant to look harassed and tired. That sweater was rather unforgiving.

Hope we see him in other series.

When these series leave the original books behind, they sort of lose their impetus. Sadly.

Agree.

Pittcity

I said that it was "her off of EastEnders" at the very beginning....

I didn't know she was off Eastenders

But yes, we collaborated on the script Pittcity!

It just couldn't have been him off Casualty ?

Alioop Thu 15-Sept-22 20:46:45

Oh I do love a Scottish accent. I'll have Dougry Scott as Perez replacement please.

I didn't think this series was as good as previous ones. At times the script seemed stilted, I thought. The scenery, though, was fabulous as always.

Parsley3

Who is going to replace Douglas? I have heard that Martin Compston is a possibility.

He would be good

We enjoyed it, a large pinch of salt has to be taken with many fictional programs.

Yes, DH regularly asks me to stop pointing out discrepancies ?
