Some survivors felt ambushed by the 2014 rape scene in EastEnders, despite the advance warning and the care taken to get it right. Thanks to the actors, locals of Shetland for putting up with the filming & road closings et al. A one-off last year went down so well that three new two-part dramas start on BBC1 this week. Shetland, by contrast, showed that the real horror of rape lasts long after the action is over. Also think it is very cool to see different Scottish actors in the episodes, many from Outlander or is it the other way around (Taran MacQuarrie)PLEASE give us more!! “Shetland’s my first big TV role and Dougie took me under his wing,” admits 31-year-old Motherwell girl Alison. “My best memory of the whole series was filming on Fair Isle,” Alison told The Sunday Post. I am so in love with the series Shetland and the place Sherland! Special congratulations for the writers handling Tosh’s response to rape so realistically and without gratuitous violence. That is the truth – and faithfully represented, as it was here, the truth is truly compelling. When Shetland returned I read all of the books and enjoyed them immensely. Just binge-watched all 3 series of Shetland. He would welcome more locals in the series, however, but the emphasis has to be on the story. “There’s not much coming out of Scotland at present.”, And even if a new series would be using the same carefully-chosen scenic locations, this would not matter. But he loved the wildlife and had seen whales in Fair Isle – “one of the most fantastic places I’ve ever been”. During filming we spend a lot of time in hotels away from our loved ones so we will tend to hang out together and have great fun. If we don’t shoot any more [in Shetland] I’ll still be going back there, I don’t know what it is, something about the landscape, the peace people find there.”. Top-notch crime drama and who-dunit but without the gratuitous and graphic violence that is part and parcel of the US version of this genre. Henshall does have a nice, warm chemistry with his co-star Alison O’Donnell as Tosh, his much younger colleague. PLEASE keep this show going…I AM HOOKED. Alison “Tosh” deciding not to pursue, & Claire Dargo as Kelly Paterson deciding to press charges after 10 years had passed in spite of all the obstacles she faced. O’Donnell is the slight comic relief in Shetland, a lightening of the tone. I am here, at 75, in Roseville California at 3am binge watching Shetland on Netflix and loving every minute. DCI Vera Stanhope to make the Northumberland countryside safe once again as ITV commissions S9, DCI Vera Stanhope to make the Northumberland countryside safe once again in 2018, DCI Vera Stanhope to make the Northumberland countryside safe beginning this Sunday, More ‘Sherlock’ greatness on the way but it’s probably not what you think…, Somewhat disheveled yet always calculating, DCI Stanhope set to return for ‘Vera’ S11 in 2021-22, With rucksack in tow, ‘Unforgotten’ begins 4th series filming. Even when the story is written sympathetically there can be unintended consequences.

Adapted from a series of novels by author Ann Cleeves, who also wrote the books that ITV’s Vera is based on, Shetland is shot around the Shetland Islands, one of the most remote areas of the British Isles, as well as several other locations in Scotland. “I’ve been going to Shetland for four or five years and only discovered Meal Beach last time. Alison says she always wanted to be an actress. I look forward to the program continuing on our PBS station. 580 327 7893. patricia.states@hotmail.com wish I lived in SHETLAND. The remote island is in complete contrast to LA, where he is taking part in the “meat market” of shooting pilots – and Henshall, who has had a varied career ranging from West End theatre to appearing in Taggart, has respect for American TV drama, which is in “rude health”. Interview: Alison O'Donnell There's always been a nod to Nordic Noir about Shetland, BBC Scotland's hit crime series. If this series has not been renewed I will weep. Bring on another series of shetland. I think he realised from the off it would be good for the whole production if I was given a wee bit of help.”, Shetland star Douglas Henshall: ‘Glasgow’s my home – Always has been and always will be’. He praised the writers Gaby Chiappe and Clare Batty for their handling of the subject, and actress Alison O’Donnell’s interpretation of the role. Too many producers film graphic scenes of violence but gloss over the lasting trauma. Gaby Chiappe, the scriptwriter, Clare Batty, the script executive, and Elaine Collins, the executive producer, consulted Rape Crisis, not with a quick phone call, but by travelling to its HQ in Leeds and listening to the staff for several hours. That’s the surreal experience Alison O’Donnell found herself in shooting new BBC drama Shetland. I love her practical, comfortable clothes but she has a fun side and the make up and costume departments really successfully helped me to show that for the wedding scenes. I especially dislike stories with a sympathetic, and often male, investigator. I was happy to see her stories come to life on screen. Even when the victim isn’t entirely helpless – like Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and other Stieg Larsson novels – I’m put off by the voyeuristic and highly sexual nature of the writing.
