Shetland: The Complete Series 1 & 2 [DVD]

Product Information

I had an absolute blast working with Ashley. Her approach to the job was pitch perfect. She was really open and collaborative and sensitive to the fact that this is a long-running show but at the same time she brought confidence and self-assuredness, both in terms of how cast-iron her characterisation of Ruth Calder was, and in terms of how she took the reins off-set and brought everybody together. 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. So it’s not Tosh that Calder has an issue with – it’s the two different approaches to work. Both are valid and, as they start to work together as a team, they see their strength together.

This cast was extraordinary. Because the show has been reconfigured, it felt like a new beginning in a way and everybody really embraced that. It felt like we were all creating this new thing together, taking ownership and really giving it everything. The chemistry among everyone was off the scale. We had so much fun together, and we worked hard and we really worked as a team. Andrea Doyle tells Pérez that she and McGuire are "just the tip of the iceberg" and that if the ransom isn't paid and they can't get Zezi off the island, McGuire will kill her. The team travels to the house where the girls had been kept but only finds Niki's body. They find the house belongs to Duncan, who claims it should be vacant. Tosh finds that Olivia's alibi for the Hayes murders is invalid. Olivia threatens to drive the car with her and Jamie in it off a cliff but is stopped by Pérez. Sandy is questioned about events around Calum's suicide. The team arranges for Olivia to call McGuire and offer to pay the ransom. Upon arriving at the dropoff, McGuire receives a call alerting him to the setup and drives off. He goes off the road, but the team finds Zezi is not in the van. Worried about Cassie and his business problems, Duncan drinks until he passes out on the beach. The next morning he finds four bodies in the water. 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.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. Well, being in Shetland during a summer heatwave wearing layers of cashmere will certainly stay with me forever that’s for sure!
