A friend of mine confessed that she watches Monarch of the Glen on a Sunday night. I had to admit to the same weakness. What a programme. It plays a great deal on the scenery and the format. The actors are barely believable and the storyline is spurious at least. New characters are introduced sporadically to give an aura of something happening, and are then despatched when they have outlived their usefulness.
The trouble is that it is very like real life.
At least it is definitely like real life here on Seil; so it will remain compulsive viewing.
