The Great Scot is back! Before his breakout performances in Trainspotting and The Full Monty, Robert Carlyle starred as Police Constable Hamish Macbeth, transferred from his Glasgow beat to the sleepy little village of Lochdubh, a town where the strangeness of the villagers is exceeded only by the strangeness of the goings-on. Hamish proves to be a natural at maintaining the social balance of his tight-knit town while solving crimes along the way. Whether it’s tracking down 300 weight of salt, solving a twenty-year-old crime, mediating a family feud—featuring space aliens—or a search for the Stone of Destiny, there’s nothing the laid-back Constable and his trusty canine sidekick Wee Jock can’t handle. Now all eight epidodes from the third season of this popular award-winning series are available on DVD, complete with cast interviews, biographies and more. As seen on BBC America.
