Shetland- Perez’s Replacement.

Nooooooooo!
I’m in love with Perez.

Ashley Jensen's lovely. I always liked her. She'll add a new dynamic to the programme. I'd already gone off He shall after his very unpleasant Twitter outbursts.

Oh no! - I will have to concentrate on the plot now, instead of lusting after Perez!

Perez did nothing for me.

Sorry.

I always enjoyed watching Douglas Henshall and I follow him on Twitter. However when the late Queen was lying in state he suggested on Twitter that the coffin was empty. Totally put me off him.

Do you think the Queue would be so long if people knew that the Queen isn’t in that coffin ? Or do they know and it’s just symbolic ?

So it’s not ‘Shetland’ at all then? Just the same name

Sorry.

ahhh, Vienna...

Sorry. I'll get my coat.

I'll miss Dougie Henshall but it will be interesting to see Tosh interacting with an unknown female boss after her long friendship with Perez. I think I watched as much for the scenery and music over the later series and thought it had all got a bit stale.

Worked fine with Tagget.
Looking forward to seeing her in this.

I'm not a member of the Perez fan club either, always think he needs colour in his life.... Dull.

I thought it was where it was set that gave rise to the title?

Me too. And all the other characters are still there as far as I know.

It will not be Sheland as Ann Cleaves described it with no Perez . In the early episodes based on the actual books I like the life story of Perez , his wife and daughter and her real father until his wife died of course.

Not a fan of Ashley Jensen I’m afraid, so I won’t be watching.

Was she the actress who played Agatha Raisin?
I didn't watch the TV series so can't comment except to say she didn't look anything like how I imagined Agatha Raisin from the books.

I love Dougie Henshall,he has the exact same eyes as my late dad .

Same here! I loved the books, for an easy, funny read, but just couldn’t watch it.

Is Tosh coming back, I thought she'd finished.
I can't imagine a woman instead of Perez.
I will watch it.

Exactly Floradora . It is not Anne Cleaves. As with all the other add on programmes such as ‘Call the Midwife’ and ‘Lark Rise to Candleford* something is definitely missing when they leave the original books behind .

PaddyAnn how strange because I was always drawn to DH as his eyes were just like my dear Dad’s when he was in his middle years.

I’ve never heard of Ashley Jensen I shall have to look her up.

I know Shetland is a popular place but I am always saying to DH ‘They don’t have any trees’. I must admit I find it bleak.

I was always uncomfortable with Douglas Henshall as Perez. In the books, he is small and dark - very Iberian (or Pictish). Doesn’t stop me from lusting after Douglas though…. 😂

Yes, Tosh is returning, accompanied by her permanent ‘puzzled/startled’ look I assume.

Not sure how it will work with two female leads.

As so often in a TV adaptation, the main character is absolutely nothing like the author had described. I really don’t know why they do that. Same with DI Banks.
I got used to Douglas Henshaw, but a woman is a step too far, especially that woman.

John Simm is not my idea of Roy Grace, neither is the actress who plays his wife Cleo. In the books she has long blonde hair and is the most beautiful woman Grace has ever seen.

Zoe Tapper has dark hair, not that long and although attractive …

If I were a famous author, I would want my tv characters to somehow resemble how they have been described in my books.
