Advantages: Light-hearted, beautiful scenery and Scottish music Disadvantages: Episode 4 is not available on DVD
...that crime and murder features heavily in the series, it is really light-hearted and fun, shows great community spirit and takes the p%$s out of 'incomers'. If you're looking for something complicated, then this is not for you.

The scenery around this area is beautiful as I know from first-hand experience and it is shown off at its best here. I'm sure that tourism increased enormously during this series.

Simone then filmed a one off...
