I wasn't aware he did Tynecastle.  You learn something everyday 

His name was mentioned in literally everything I read or heard about the place when the stand was being re-built.

Dens Park was also pointless off the top of my head, I can't remember any other Scottish ones.

Irish Rock Music night on BBC4 was decent last night. A rare showing of Stiff Little Fingers/U2 gig from 1981 too.

Rip it Up Unwrapped 10.30pm, on the BBC Scotland channel tonight focuses on 'Scottish Synth' music, The Associates, Simple Minds etc.

This week's episode of Celebrity Bake-off.

Big fan of James Acaster, and Michelle Keegan is just all round lovely.

It was a good show this week. Absolutely surreal seeing John Lithgow don an apron in the previous episode.

Preferred the previous one, felt there were more funny bits(Russel Brands final challenge :lol: and John Richardson fawning over John Lithgow :lol:) and the group of people worked really well together. 

Although I did enjoy James Acaster being terrible at everything :lol:

Russell Brand even being on it put last week's episode in this thread's other category for me.

Final episode of Shetland?   

Spoiler

Tartan Noir meets Brokeback Mountain.  Tosh and The Geek carving out an uncertain future,  Alice removing herself from the scene and Perez and Duncan bonding together over the bistro plans and calling for a takeaway for their lovenest.  Meanwhile, the true villain of the piece, Benson, is never mentioned again.  Five and a half decent episodes absolutely ruined by a half hour of unmitigated schmaltz.

We never enjoyed this series at all, gave up on it around episode 3, have enjoyed the previous ones but maybe it's now time to retire (with heavy heart) Perez's peacoat?

I disagree.  I quite enjoyed this season and would be delighted to see a season 6.  The last scene in episode 5 was fantastic and set up for a decent enough finale. 

Perez really needs to get a dog.

Felt it was better when Shetland was 2-part stories, they started stretching it to 6-parts around series 3.

Maybe a dog would help :lol:

Car sos was a bit of a shocker last night. Not sure if it was the newest episode, was a womans Lotus Elise. Footnote at the end said in memory of the womans dad, who was seen in the program, and the woman herself:(

That was the latest one. Not the first time the recipient has died between getting the car and the programme being shown. In the last series there was one programme where the guy died while they were working on it, without knowing anything about it. They finished it in tribute to him and presented it to his widow.

I'd vote for:

-Another Shetland series.  I like the cast, characters and scenery
-Jimmy to ditch the pea coat.  If he can fund Duncan's bistro he can buy a decent jaiket
-For series (next) to be two episodes of 1.5 hrs with high production values.  'Endeavour' has been brilliant (apart from the end of the last episode)
-For the Julie Graham character, who is a thoroughly decent actress, to do some actual police work rather than have this ongoing, "Are you sure about this, Jimmy?  You have to carry the can" bollocks

As far as a dug for Perez goes?  Naw.  It's not Scooby Doo.

Is she not the Procurator Fiscal or such like?

24 Hours in Police Custody is infuriating, frightening and depressing tonight.

How coppers refrain from knocking f**k out of people is pretty impressive. I couldn't do their job for any amount of money.

In a word: bodycams. My dad was a policeman for 30 years. When he gets drunk he sometimes talks of the old days, when they would indeed take issue with someone - especially wife-beaters. Back in those days, not only did you need the woman "with a face like a pound of mince" as my dad would say, but she also needed to corroborate the physical evidence by saying her husband did it. Most women would not. Persistent offenders often found themselves on the wrong side of a couple of police truncheons. Couldn't do that now.
