    I'll second Sandford on this, and don't forget Whisky Galore while you're at it!

    "Hunting the Fairies" was the best book in my opinion. I really enjoyed Killwillie in that one.

    I watched the first couple of seasons/series on PBS 7 or 8 years ago, then Netflixed the whole shabang over the last month or so. The first 4 series were good; after that it started to ramble.
    Katrina was the best part of the show.

    Just for the record, Hector usually wore trews to dinner, which Lexie had invariably burned and Golly had 'piped in. (Confusing sentence, ain't it?)
