The Long Call and Shetland.

I think the story line about Jimmy's father was an unnecessary distraction. Is that destined to be a major part of the next season?
I've never thought of Dougie Henshall as my idea of Perez which is probably an effect of having been a fan of the books. His acting too often seems to consist of a rather blank stare and as a person, he is depicted as becoming increasingly unattractive.

so is that rather drippy computer bloke her husband ?

That was a disappointment too; I was hoping he was going to turn out to be the whistleblower, trying to put the blame on Sandy!

Well, with Sandy possibly in trouble for going the the press (I think), Tosh pregnant, Duncan and Jimmy arrested and in a cell, the next series doesn't sound as if it will be very inspiring, does it!

I enjoyed it - but contrary to most people on this thread I think Dougie Henshall (Perez) is not a very good actor; I think he's quite 'wooden' and not very convincing. Sorry to all those Dougie fans on here!

I have to agree with you. He was one-dimensional in this latest series, I thought. I don't know if that's how he's been told to portray Perez or his normal acting style. I can't remember seeing him in anything else to compare.

I really enjoyed it.
Brilliant piece of acting when Tosh saw the result of her pregnancy test.

I love Tosh’s facial expressions! Gutted for Duncan and Jimmy - Donna must have been so twisted and bitter to choose to die prematurely to try and ruin their lives. I do like the story line about Jimmy’s
father and think it adds to his characterisation. Also a poignant depiction of dementia. Cant’t wait until series 7.

I don’t know who killed Sally, but Donna killed Lizzie because she was afraid she would tell her abusive husband about her affair with Duncan.

Sally was killed by her father, the detective who had protected Lizzie from being arrested by jailing an innocent man, Thomas Mallone (Series 4 I think). Sally had discovered the truth and told her father she would go to the police. He strangled her with a scarf to throw suspicion back onto Mallone, who had just been released from prison.

Presume you meant protecting Donna * Amberlone*

Shetland good but Tosh is very over the top with her expressions, it’s funny when it shouldn’t be.

She does gurn, doesn't she, Allsorts

We've got expressionless Jimmy, gurning Tosh, bemused Duncan, quietly smirking Maggie.

My money's on Sandy taking charge.
