Synopsis
Lochdubh: a frontier town in the wild west of Scotland. One hotel, one general store, one doctor and one lawman - PC Hamish Macbeth (Robert Carlyle - Trainspotting, The World is Not Enough). He's the sherrif, along with canine sidekick Wee Jock, with his own singular methods of dealing with crime and misdemeanours. If only his love life were so easily solved. But then that's another story...

5.0 out of 5 stars Superbly Entertaining Series - A Must Buy!, 16 Mar 2007
By David Lusher (London England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Great to see this series released on DVD. The tiny village of Lochdubh (pronounced Lock-Doo) and its quirky inhabitants keep pot-smoking policeman Hamish Macbeth (Robert Carlyle) busy, frustrated and, occasionally, baffled. He loves the place and will do anything to stay, even giving credit for solved cases to more ambitious Police visitors so that his low profile is maintained.

The casting of this series is really great and it stands as good entertainment on its own merits (despite the "not as good as the books" whingeing from another reviewer). The Scottish landscape is breathtaking and the quirkiness of the locals (reminiscent of 'Whisky Galore') is really funny. This is a series to watch again and again - it contains some shocks and surprises (no bad thing) but these serve to whet the appetite for more. I highly recommend this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Series 1 and 2 best. DVD transfer bad in places., 13 April 2008
By L. Sinclair - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First things first - Episode 4 of the first series, West Coast Story, is not included in this release. Rips off West Side Story a little too much to risk a worldwide release obviously. Also, the transfer to DVD of the first series is downright shocking in places, some scenes look like 3rd generation VHS copies. Not exactly what I was expecting for £26.

But on the whole I was still absolutely delighted with the content. As others have mentioned, the third series is the noticeably weaker than the first two, too many new characters introduced and storylines which stretch the believability factor a bit too much. But still a worthwhile purchase, though as mentioned above, i'd say try and track it down a little cheaper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth buying, 15 Sep 2007
By Iamthemoon (England) - See all my reviews
This is even better than I remember and I would highly recommend it.

Robert Carlyle is excellent as the lead character - v. sexy !

Great acting, beautiful scenery, some sad touching moments to make you cry, amiable eccentric characters, a cute dog, and the always wonderful Shirley Henderson. :)

The only negative thing I would say is that the 3rd series is slightly weaker than the first two but is still very good (with the exception of the episode 'More Than A Game' which bored me a little).

This is definitely one of my favourite box sets and well worth buying. I'll be watching it again and again.

Not being a native I enjoyed it enormously but I think that "Sex and the Hamlet" would have been a more appropriate title.

M.C. Beaton's 'Hamish Macbeth' murder mysteries could have been made into an excellent TV series, like 'Inspector Morse' or 'Midsomer Murders'. Read more
