WARNING - no subtitlesr

The programs are of course great, but,if like I am. your hearing isn't great; there are no subtitles. I am Scottish and lived in Edinburgh for most of the 1970s, but found the dialogue difficult to follow.

Almost as good as the books - especially as Mr Stott brings Rebus to life.

As a longtime follower of Inspector Rebus, through all of his books, I approached this Ken Stott Collection with a wee bit of trepidation, especially after reading a few very negative comments.

Not a single thing to worry about at all, especially if one is simply able to divorce the book titles away from the TV series and then watch the TV films as a new experience.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the first three discs/episodes from this set and I suspect the remaining episodes will be just as good. The acting of both Ken Stott as Inspector Rebus and his sidekick DS Siobhan Clarke (Claire Price) is truly outstanding and I found it very easy to forget the original stories as told by Ian Rankin and I found these 1 hour + a wee bit episodes very satisfying to watch.

There is no way that many of Mr. Rankin's voluminous novels could possibly have been condensed into a single TV episode, or perhaps even into a series, and I do honestly believe that the producers of this series have chosen the best of all worlds.

Anyhoo - I've just finished watching the third disc and I love it all. I love it so much that I even ordered a few bottles of Deuchars and I shall keep some of them back for tomorrow when I continue my Rebus gluttony.

I *loved* all of the Rebus books and I also truly have enjoyed the first few episodes of the Ken Stott Rebus Collection that I have watched so far.

Highly recommended.

Rebus - The Ken Stott DVD collection

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2014

Only in the last six months I have started reading Ian Rankin and quickly became hooked on them and have read most of them and think they are brilliant.I missed the Rebus TV series and bought the DVD collection on the strength of the books and have thoroughly enjoyed them though they have changed the stories from the books.I think Ken Stott was perfect for the part as a totally convincing John Rebus.Some people have complained about not understanding the accent and some of the dialogue but I've not found this a problem and am not Scottish.Recommended.

So glad I got this. I have read all of Ian Rankin's books and Ken Stott is exactly how I imagined Rebus to be. This DVD takes snippets from all the books and weaves them together into 10 hours of great entertainment. Some things the screenwriters altered which had me saying that's not right, while my husband who is not a Rankin fan, told me to shut up. He said it was great. So even if you are not a Rankin fan get this DVD well worth the watching and the money. Highly recommended.

'Fountain Pen'

One of the top crime series.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2018

Verified Purchase

I loved John Hannah in this role, but I love Stott even more - he fits the character like a glove, and adds a humanity and realism to Rebus that are lacking in the novels.
Edinburgh is used superbly as a location, the casting throughout the whole series is excellent, the music atmospheric, and the plots (as in the novels) thoroughly absorbing and gripping.
What's not to love? Satisfaction guaranteed.
