    this is utter tripe

    I'm sorry i won't be watching anymore episodes of hamish macbeth ... its neither funny nor worth wasting time watching ... i've seen better children tv episodes ... please dump this trash in the firth of fourth

    Delightful

    A delightful episode with a surprising amount of heart. The comedy resulting from the quirky residents of Lochdubh, walks hand in hand with Hamish's lack of professional drive and his affection for his fellow townspeople. We get to learn more about the series-level story-arc emotional motivations of several characters, and we still get a mystery that is entertainingly only of interest to an out-of-town Officer. Very funny, very sweet - the best episode of the series yet.
