Hamish MacBeth

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

It's okay-- Robert Carlyle plays "Hamish MacBeth" a small town cop in a remote fishing village in Scotland. This could have been really good but it was generally let down by typically weak British television scripting.

It reminds me of a Scottish "Northern Exposure".

Mac is correct, I think. I really liked the series--at least the ones I got to see beforr BBC-America took it off the air--but it was a little weak in writing.

The books will never receive a Nobel for literature, but I like them a lot. Ole Hamish is a very interesting character, and his little village and the messes he gets into keep things interesting.

I'd buy one of the dvd 's.
