Shetland: The Complete Series 1 & 2 [DVD]

Product Information

Ruth is used to getting things right and this is a complex case which is layered and doesn’t quite go the way she expects it to. There are so many different paths that she ends up going down.

These are all people that I’ve watched on the television for years and always admired. In fact, I met Phyllis many moons ago because she played my mum in Nativity. She’s just such a legend and what a character Grace Bain is! She plays these strong, steely parts and yet she’s incredibly warm and funny. Just to be up close and personal to all these people and having a laugh with them was great. It really was wonderful. It was an incredibly unified cast I have to say. People hear actors wittering on “oh we all got on so well, we were one big happy family but we absolutely, genuinely did. On top of the twists and turns of the case, Calder is faced with figures from her past including her ex-boyfriend Cal Innes (Jamie Sives) and estranged younger brother Alan (Steven Miller) – now the minister of their late father’s old kirk. However, these siblings have starkly different views of their shared childhood. The entire cast was amazing but I have a special place in my heart for the inimitable Don Gilét [who plays hitman Howell]. The first couple of weeks were quite disorientating for me as I found my feet in this new world ofShetland. The first day I remember really loosening up I was chasing him [Don] down a beach. I was in pain with laughing. He's such a one-off, insanely funny and makes every day you're working with him memorable and special. And then there’s the weather! One minute we had this horizontal rain and the next, a heatwave and it was like the tropics and everyone was going wild swimming. I felt like I was on my holidays. She’s formidable, she’s strong, she’s a woman in a man’s world. Ruth Calder’s built this little barricade around herself - she’s almost like an island herself.

Side guide

Like any close relationship with someone you have to work alongside intensely, there are moments when it flows and moments when it doesn't but they are both fiercely committed to their work, they always have that in common, and it is this dogged pursuit of truth and justice that is the engine that drives them as a team. a b c Griffiths, Rosalind (9 April 2015).

Archived from the original on 3 March 2016.A young woman from Shetland, Ellen Quinn [Maisie Norma Seaton], is living in London and getting herself involved in some pretty dubious schemes with her flatmate. This leads to her being in the wrong place at the wrong time and bearing witness to a very serious gangland killing. She flees the scene but not before being spotted and followed, all the way home to Shetland.

There were days when I laughed so hard my stomach hurt and I was in danger of crying all my make-up off. But we never, ever lost focus or took our eyes off the ball. Figuring out our chemistry together was an outright pleasure and I'm really proud of what we created together. I think if she took herself aside - and worked more as part of the team in the beginning - she’d achieve more. At the start, there might be a slight air of superiority about Calder with her taking the view that the Shetland team don’t work quite as well as her London team do. But she begins to realise that there are strengths in not jumping in with both feet at the same time. This is as much a personal story as a professional one for Calder. assistant coordinator / production coordinator / assistant production coordinator (16 episodes, 2014-2018)

The world of Shetland police HQ is as we knew it - warm, reassuring and familiar. But change is coming and with it, fresh challenges for the team. first assistant camera: b camera: dailies / second assistant camera: a camera / b camera focus puller / first assistant camera: b camera (12 episodes, 2021-2022) There’s this sort of idea that when we’re British we have to go far afield to get away. After living in America for years, I’ve got this pull to visit Scotland more, so when Shetland came up I couldn’t resist. We all have a WhatsApp group together and keep in touch and I imagine there will be lots of fun messages when the show airs.

A scientist is found dead in the bird observatory on Fair Isle, Pérez's childhood home, so Pérez and Tosh make their way across to the island, where they are greeted by Pérez's father – just before flights are grounded by incoming storms. Working alone and without a forensic team, the detectives talk to the victim's friends, family, and colleagues – and as tensions run high, the storm forces Pérez and the suspects to remain together under a single roof.
