    Better than I remember!

    I saw this series on TV when it was originally shown and I was immediately put off because I thought John Hannah was too young for the part and not as I pictured Rebus from reading all of the Ian Rankin books.

    My favourite for the role (along with a lot of Rankin fans) was Ken Stott, a magnificent actor and physically perfect for the role.

    However, having seen the recent reincarnation of Rebus starring Ken Stott and watching these original DVD's I am having my doubts. Although Ken Stott may fit the bill (excuse the pun) more than John Hannah the production of the new series seems to be lacking something.

    The original was just right, very noirish and the monologue device used by John Hannah as Rebus worked particularly well.

    Now if Ken Stott had been in the original it probably would have desrved 5 stars, however, I enjoyed these DVD's immensely and heartily recommend them to all Rankin/Rebus fans.
