Wish there were more

I have read several of the Hamish Macbeth books, but I had never heard of
the television series until I found it on Netflix. I liked the book series
so I thought I would give it a try and I have to say that I LOVE it. I am
going slowly because there are only three seasons and I just can't bear to
have it end! In fact, I read one of the books recently, and I found it
irritating because I like the dvd's so much better. Did Ms. Beaton have
anything to do with the script of this production? I would love to know. August 11, 2008

A wee Highland gem!

My wife and I were introduced to this series by a friend who also has a Westie in her family, and we quickly became addicted. While the dog Jock actually plays a relatively minor part in the series, we became entranced by the characters, the scenery, the humor, and, not least, the love story that gives this series a really special quality. In addition to a great series of performances by Robert Carlyle, Shirley Henderson turns in an outstanding performance as Isobel. The rest of the cast is also excellent. After watching the series, the one M.C. Beaton book I read was quite a disappointment. June 16, 2008

Hamish MacBeth

This charming tv show about the village of Lochdoubh, Scotland is a bit like Brigadoon. If you are a big fan of the books by M.C. Beaton, you will be pleased with Hamish, played by Robert Carlyle. However, many of the characters are new to Lochdoubh and are not in the books. Two new, and quite good ones, are Lachlan McCrae and son.

Season 1: (5 episodes) The Great Lochdubh Salt Robbery, A Pillar of the Community, The Big Freeze, Wee Jock's Lament. and A Bit of an Epic.

Season 2: (6 episodes) A Perfectly Simple Explanation, In Search of a Rose, Isobel Pulls it Off, Radio Lochdubh, No Man is an Island, The Lochdubh Deluxe

Season 3: (8 episodes) The Honorable Policeman, Deferred Sentence, The Lochdubh Assassin, The Good Thief, The Trouble with Rory, More than a Game, Destiny (Part 1), Destiny (Part 2) May 29, 2008

Fun scottish series

This is a enjoyable series to watch. Lots of humorous situations. You will become quite attached to the characters. My favorites were a father & son called the MacCradies(sp?) who always seem to get themselves in a difficult situation. The accents were easy to follow, even for those of us from the states.

Quirky and Funny

If you love eccentric characters, bagpipes, and scottish accents you'll love this series. The series is funny with some very poignant moments.
