New Bbc1 Programme Last Night

[netibiza]

What was the name of the new programme beginning with "S" which started last night on BBC 1 and came on after "Call the midwife"? Thank you.

It was Shetland.

[factor-fiction]

It was a place in Scotland- Shetland?

I watched that, neti. I found it hard to hear the dialogue but kept watching because I like Dougie Henshall.

[ethelburga]

I watched it but got lost plot wise as like others, couldn't always catch the dialogue because of the dialect!

[netibiza]

Thank you all, I'll give it a try, but am hard of hearing at the best of times!!

[TheOtherHalf]

we too found it hard to hear it properly and unfortunately our sub titles doesnt work but we will watch tonights too. Very good and beautiful scenery

[Baldric]

Watched that,thought it was quite good, will be watching part 2 tonight.

[anneasquith]

worth watching tonight...........stunning scenery ¬

I think it's the BBC cashing in on the ''Gloomy Scandinavian'' syndrome.

The scenery is stunning but the plot not great. I've recently read the book and think the programme would have been better if they'd stuck to the book more.

I've read some of the books in this series-they presumed that the viewer knew a lot of the background to the character-Douglas Henshall always good value but pretty lacklustre really. Will watch tonight for the finale but not expecting too many surprises.

Were any of the accents authentic?
Or did the producers go down the route of 'any old Scottish accent will do'?

In the same way that any 'peasant-stock' represented in historical drama all seem to hail from Zummerzet, or the south-west.......as do all the on-screen pirates.
