The new series of Shetland starts on November 6th at 21.00 on BBC1 and iPlayer. Ian Hart and Vincent Regan, both well kent faces are in it, as well as the returning Ashley Jensen (Ruth), Alison O’Donnell (Tosh), Steven Robertson (Sandy) and Lewis Howden (Billy).
I was not a fan of the previous series so am hoping for both an improved storyline and acting this time.

I had to do a bit of detective work to track him down Ilovedogs but we may see him again soon:

The Darkness is on Channel 4 - it's an adaptation of the book by Ragnar Jonasson, set in Iceland. You don't actually see that much of Douglas Henshall, but it's a good series anyway. Quite dark, not quite true to the book, but interesting. I hope there are more series of Ragnar Jonasson books, he's a good writer (in my humble opinion anyway). It is quite dark (literally as well being set in Iceland) - but I love Iceland and the Nordic noir genre.
