Reviews

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
shoneybearz The whole series in now on YouTube and again shown daily on stv once more I am again watching and as I glance out my window can almost see the filming of this great show again.Yes it put us on the map for 20 years made friends with the cast especially when filming in the snow often had a few in to warm up it was underrated at the time hacked by the ITV but survived by popular demand I remember Davie sneddon addressing the supporters to continue the show it was a gentle life on the go from Scotland. It could have continued if stv had the might of Granada and central but no even border TV became English viewing.if you have the chance download it so far 245 episodes have been shown on stv and YouTube
pauline-meek I used to love this - time spent watching it was a treat that helped me keep my sanity when my children were tiny and I longed for the sound of a grown-up voice. I loved the scenery, and the sort of close-knit community that probably hasn't ever existed, but is comforting to think of. The story lines were wonderful - mostly real-life "I can relate to that" stuff, with a bit of drama (and sometimes sheer silliness - remember the "Nicki the Russian spy" storyline?) thrown in to stop you getting too complacent! Funnily enough, a couple of friends and I were regretting its demise the other day, and were recalling favourite characters - which brings me to my question. Who was/is the actor who played "Nosey" (Respect the Sabbath) Parker, the world's most up-himself Calvinist vicar - he was brilliant! He's one of those actors you see in loads of stuff, but don't usually associate with any one part. We have been racking out brains. Any offers?
rsawers I have been watching this great show for five years and am so disappointed that it has been taken off air. In Australia we reached only to the end of 1993 so we missed a lot. How can TV stations leave regular viewers stranded like this. I would like to receive any copies that readers have recorded (shall pay). This is one of the best programmes to come out of Scotland. (I am of Scottish descent). The characterization is superb and the settings are so easy on the eyes. The plots often touch on many day to day subjects such as loneliness, happiness, the might of big business; marriage break ups; difficulties faced by small farmers; cot death etc all without foul language, overdone sexual references, murders etc. All ages are represented from the elderly, the lone unmarried, the middle ages to the young at heart and the plots deal with happenings relative to each age group and are skilfully intertwined. What a sad loss!! As I said in my letters to BBC and ABC, I hope all the evil spirits in Scottish castles come to haunt all those horrible, inconsiderate nobodies responsible for its demise.

lemalyn I really like the show and think that the actors really play their parts so well, it is as if everything is really true. I was a little disappointed that baby Mary died, it made me feel so sad as that had happened to me a long time ago. But I watch the show every day and tape it if I am not going to be home. Even though I am not Scottish I can still understand the words but my husband can't understand them. I have been watching the show now for about 12 months and just hope that Australia keep on showing the series, it had been on here for a while before I got to know about it. I am glad that my friend (who is Scottish) told me to watch it. Best show on TV she said & I am inclined to agree with her.
