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 .

Aveline Fri 16-Sept-22 17:34:34

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.

Aveline Fri 16-Sept-22 17:34:57

but not buy

I know Marydoll we are buddies ?

I should just keep my thoughts to myself. Often I open my mouth when I should keep it shut, well so my DH says ?

One last comment, Dougie’s eyes and forehead where just like my Dad’s when he was in his 40s. It gave me a warm feeling. ❤️

Marydoll Fri 16-Sept-22 18:02:58

Kate, it was a tongue in cheek remark I made, please don't be upset.
Anyway, I've seen him in the flesh! Many moons ago.?

NanKate Fri 16-Sept-22 19:30:57

Lucky you Mary. He looks good for a cuddle ?

Marydoll Fri 16-Sept-22 19:32:47

It was only in the pub, Kate!!

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.

You haven't upset me

But you did upset Dougie, he's devastated.
He's started a fitness regime.

..... and looking for a new stylist!

Callistemon21 Fri 16-Sept-22 19:45:41

He needn't bother for me, I'll take him as he is ?

Oops, is that un PC?

NanKate Fri 16-Sept-22 19:53:52

You go for it Callistemon ? I’m a bit too old in the tooth for him. I think Cary Grant in his older years would have suited me more.

Callistemon21 Fri 16-Sept-22 19:55:26

?
I might be older than you, NanKate
Dougie won't give me a passing glance!

September 1946 - the Dark Ages.

Callistemon21 Fri 16-Sept-22 20:47:27

You're a spring chicken!

Happy birthday (whenever it is)

NanKate Fri 16-Sept-22 21:48:13

Thank you - another 11 days until I am the same age as Dolly Parton ?‍♀️

I feel that "Shetland" has been given a good run and time to move on but bit doubtful about the new series (most of which has already been shot) but there have been no leaks about the lead part. I nearly stopped watching the current one after episode two but kept going out of loyalty. My only real annoyance was "Where was Mark Bonner?" We only saw him very briefly in this last series which was strange as he was featured heavily before.

Marydoll Fri 16-Sept-22 22:51:54

Is Duncan, ( Mark Bonnar) not in prison? It would be difficult to fit him into the storyline, if he is miles away in Barlinnie.

Grayling1 Fri 16-Sept-22 23:12:33

Yes, he is Marydoll as we saw briefly in the last episode. Think I was just wishing he might still have a part to play given his prominence in the series but sadly not!! No doubt he has a busy schedule with other work coming up. He's a pretty versatile actor.

Marydoll Fri 16-Sept-22 23:15:22

I agree, Grayling. I do like him. DH and I used to joke that every time, we turned on the TV, he was there.
He can be quite sinister at times!

Marydoll Fri 16-Sept-22 23:16:11

PS, I prefer Mark to Dougie!

Parsley3 Sat 17-Sept-22 08:38:47

Mark Bonner is a brilliant actor. Unfortunately, he can't take over from Douglas.

You know what they say - you're not old until Mick Jagger says you are!! Ditto Dolly Parton!

I hope Tosh doesn't take over as the lead. At one time she seemed good but now she seems to have only one expression which is stunned mullet.
As for her daft-as-a-brush partner, hope they write him out too.
