I'm new to the group, so I'm sure that this is well-trod territory. Apologies for the redundancy. But is there any truth to the fact that they were thinking of...
I never saw Hannah in the tv show. Although many friends said he was terribly miscast. There must be some scottish actor who is more suited. James Cosmo...
As far as I remember, there was no choice for another actor because the TV company only wanted to give the money if John Hannah was cast as Rebus. He himself...
I actually thought John Hannah was fine in the role of Rebus. Despite Ian Rankin's best efforts, I've never visualised Rebus as fat & filthy, because his...
I always thought Gordon Kennedy would make a great Rebus. You may have seen him as Sergeant Hornsby on Red Cap. He's a fine actor and more of a physical...
I saw the films before I started reading the books. But I did not have any problems to see the "Book Rebus" in another way than the "Film Rebus". I liked it to...
Personally I've always much preferred the books to the films because I don't think the films feel, the atmosphere is all wrong and Hannah isn't the Rebus in my...
I thought John Hannah brooded beautifully as Rebus. Perhaps readers have forgotten that the films were adapted from his earlier books, when Rebus was a younger...
I don't know how many of you know the look of Fifers, of which Rebus is one. My husband's family is from Crail, at the eastern end of the Kingdom of Fife,...
For me, having read the novels before seeing the films, I had created an image of Rebus, one of a truly dark-haired, stocky, brooding, slightly rumpled man,...
I was just so happy to get Rebus! I hadn't seen John Hannah till the show came out. I was happy. I was more "upset" with the casting of Sioban. Hannah carried...
Hello, Dennis, I was so taken with John Hannah as Rebus that I didn't really notice Siobhan until the later books became so riveting. Peter Robinson &...
Dennis, I am glad that you have picked up the Inspector Banks series, I have a few other suggestions as well. The Inspector Resnick series written by John...
Dennis mentioned he had read Past Reason Hated by Peter Robinson and it was OK. I haven't read this one but I would recommend Aftermath. I believe his...
Apart from Ian Rankin Peter Robinson is another of my favourite writers. I have all of his books and I agree with you that he's gained new depth with the last...
Raymond you are right. I am just into The Hanging Valley, and it is better. It is printed in the US but it is written in English, flavour, colour, behaviour...
You members have good insite! I an a newbee to BBCA but watch both Red Cap and Monarch of the Glen without fail. I think both actors, Gordon and Sandy could do...
I have purchacesd all the books in the series and they seem to get better every time.Both Banks and Rebus like a drink as welll.The Laproig that Banks drinks...
Kinda OT, but re: Moore. It's possible to hire a tape-recorded 'guide' around Beijing's Forbidden City. The speaker (for the English version, at least) is...
Hello everyone, Some time ago I did some Ebay shopping and found some Rebus books with John Hannah on the cover. A co-worker was interested and I loaned them...
Hello ! I've just look at amazon.co.uk and you can still find "The Hanging Garden" http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0752837702/qid=1081831652/sr=1-20/r...
Hey Billie, I haven't looked recently, but JH covers were available here in Australia; if you're really stuck we could work something out... Alisa. ... ...
Alisa, thanks for the very kind offer. I checked out the links posted in reply to my request and have ordered what I was missing. Now it's waiting to get ...
As you are no doubt aware, Zimbabwe is in a terrible state of political and social unrest. Most Zimbabwean women cannot afford the outrageous prices charged...
... political and social unrest. Alisa, much as I sympathise with the message here, and because I know you're a member who *has* posted on topic, I'll let this...
