we were looking forward to the new Rebus...loved the old one with Ken Stott...I watched the first 10 minutes, that was enough...I'll give it a big miss...

Oh no, I was really looking forward to it. I love John Hannah but he was miscast as Rebus, Ken Stott was perfect. I’ll give it a try with 🤞🏻 .

We looked forward to it, something to pass an evening or two.

Oh dear. I was looking forward to bingeing it too

We watched the first episode and won't be watching anymore. Neither DH or me enjoyed it.

*Streaky” You’re better than me, I know I’ll binge all six once I start watching 😁

All six episodes are now on iPlayer.
Ken Stott’s accent never bothered me and although not born here, I’ve lived in Scotland (Dundee/near-by) for 65+ years.
Richard Rankin is also from Glasgow, it’ll be interesting to see how he sounds.

Just watched the first episode on iPlayer. I had to resist the temptation not to binge all episodes, I want it to last!
I’m a big Ian Rankin fan so I was looking forward to this. I enjoyed the first episode, thought Richard Rankin was great as a younger Rebus, my maiden name is Rankin so it’s a bit of a family affair! Not keen on the actress playing Siobhan Clark, not at all how I imagined the character.

Thanks for this. I like the books and need something good to watch on tv

Just realised that this is being shown tonight Fri at 9pm on BBC Scotland (freeview), aswell as on iplayer.

It’s available now on iPlayer

You are right Charleygirl it starts on Saturday in England and Friday in Scotland. 👍

It is on tomorrow, Saturday on BBC1. I cannot remember the time. I have read every Rebus book and I also was not a fan of John Hannah playing Rebus.

At last something to watch and being a Scot should understand the lingo.

He'll sound fine to Glaswegian ears of course!

That's interesting because I don't hear a Glaswegian accent when I listen to Ken Stott as Rebus and I grew up in Glasgow.

I agree John Hannah was all wrong. I like Ken Stott but his Glaswegian accent jarred. I'm sure it would seem just generic Scottish to non Scots which is fine I suppose. But I'm hoping for an accent that matches the location better.

John Hannah was definitely miscast as Rebus.

I’m really looking forward to this, Richard Rankin is always very watchable. I didn’t particularly like John Hannah as Rebus but loved Ken Stott’s portrayal over the years.

Ken Stott was my idea of Rebus but I am looking forward to a new depiction of him.

I love the Rebus books. The last series of Rebus I saw starred Ken Stott as Rebus, this time we`re treated to a younger, more handsome Rebus. Not that I don`t like Ken Stott!

Yes please

Rebus is definitely on my list to watch. I usually wait till all episodes are available.
