Synopsis
Acclaimed actor Robery Carlyle (Trainspotting stars as police constable Hamish Macbeth in this TV crime drama series which is set in a small Scottish town. Macbeth's relationship with the town forms the backbone of the plot; constantly bringing the various miscreants who dwell there to justice, he often deploys unorthodox methods to get the job done, However, the constant threat of promotion, and subsequent relocation that would bring, hangs over Macbeth's head like a bad smell. He's so in love with the little town that he would rather avoid climbing the police career ladder and stay situated where he is. As the town is populated with eccentric characters who always raise a wry smile, it's not hard to see why, and Macbeth also has his eye on a couple of women who have caught his fancy, leading to a long-running subplot on the show.

An absolute stunner of a program. This series captures traditional community spirit cascading into modern life. Hamish MacBeth (Robert Carlyle) is the epitome of the police. He manages to draw a line (in the sand) which the villagers "try" not to cross, however, when they do he does his utmost to place them back. Not an unjustified harsh word in the ear for those who derserve but no malice or grudge follows. Fantasic program

I bought Seasons 1-3 and have enjoyed them immensely. The shows seem to have more drama than the books but maybe it is just me. I love the characters of Lochdubh and prefer the shows based upon the town.
BTW - If anyone knows the song sung in "The Good Thief" by the Lochdubh boy trying to win the Willie McGraw Trophy, please post a reply. Beautiful sound.

As usual excellent delivery service from Amazon. This DVD set brought back great memories of an excellent light hearted drama. It may not follow the book as other people reported, but I bought it as a TV series with great characters played by good actors. very enjoyable, I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a bit of nostalgia. By the way I also purchased the complete series of Hamish Macbeth. Same result, very enjoyable & great price.
