Sometimes, the more serious the job, the more you laugh. Life’s too short not to have a laugh. To me, that’s part of the joy of what we do.

Series 6 broadcast began on 20 October 2021 and series 7 on 10 August 2022.

I feel that Shetland is as much a character as the drama itself. Shetland is one of those places that I never, ever thought I would go or get a chance to work there. It was such a privilege to be there and rendered me speechless when I stepped off that wee plane the first time. There were Shetland ponies and puffins – it’s got its own identity which is quite exhilarating actually. stunt double: Shona McHugh / stunt double: Sorcha Groundsell / stunt performer (2 episodes, 2021-2022) English, Paul (2 March 2013).

Side guide

Also starring are Alison O'Donnell as DS Alison "Tosh" McIntosh and Steven Robertson as DC Sandy Wilson. Lewis Howden and Anne Kidd are also principal members of the cast. After the murder of an archeology student at the croft, the supervising professor comes under scrutiny as well as the Haldane family members who stand to gain from silencing the truth. Pérez must apprehend the suspect before crowds descend for Up Helly Aa, the biggest fire festival in Europe. 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. I also think Calder is a littleenviousof Tosh – sheappears to have it all, a family lifeanda career.

Tosh is very comfortable in the role so she has definitely been doing it for some time and has really found her rhythm. She has an easy rapport with Sandy [Steven Robertson] and Billy [Lewis Howden] and the team seems to be functioning well and not dealing with anything too grizzly. She also has a great connection with Harry [Tibu Fortes], the new procurator fiscal, who really champions her. a b "Crime drama Shetland triumphs at Bafta Scotland". BBC News Scotland.
