Monarch of the Glen

Let's fuck some shit up
Anyone seen this show?

It's a Scottish BBC presentation, so I don't think many have seen it.

I'm sure Wacky's seen or heard of it.

It's cancelled. Went on for seven series. I've watched 1, 2, and most of 3. I'd have to say it's fairly good and endearing to watch.

Even if I don't understand half of what they're saying.

Why is it most Scots sound like they're talking with a bunch of marbles in their mouths?
 
That's about right.

The glen is going to go under.
They need more money.
Archie comes up with some half-baked scheme to save the place.
His mother/father find some better way of doing things.
Lexie wants to snog him.
End of show.
 
This was Sunday night viewing for old folk. I never found it interesting myself. But if you like this, there are plenty of similar dramas the BBC's churned out for the same demographic.

Hamish Macbeth is one of them, starring Robert Carlyle. It's a bit like Tintin, but in Scotland.

It used to bore me stupid.
 
My mum watched it. Seemed like an old people thing.
 
GREET, GREET SHOW!
 
My girlfriend's into it... which pretty much makes me into it.

She's a big softie for heartwarming things like that.

And I'm a sucker for anything that doesn't have a completely transparent plot/storyline.

Though, the whole "Glenbogle needs saving" schtick is getting old. They need to find a better plot hook eventually, or I'm gonna stop watching it. Currently in season 3.

It's chock-full of fun scottishisms though... K'noodle is a great one. Just rolls off the tongue. Much better descriptor than sex. The word sex is so abrupt and unpolished.
 
Canoodling isn't really a Scottish thing unless you're doing it with a Nessy.
 
I've been to Ingulund and have never heard anyone say the word. First time I heard it was on this Scottish program. Though, it was rather funny when I heard a person from Liverpeul say y'all.
 
Well, it's a rather old fashioned term, which is why you heard it on Monarch of the Glen.

They probably also get "bamboozled" by seeing Hamish in his new tartan, but think he looks really "natty".
 
Natty is an ethnic slur, you racist bastard! That's how Imus got fired!
 
Perfect! The old folks like nothing more than racism and slurring on a wintery Sunday eve.
 
At least Shirley Manson isn't in it.

Hetty Wainthrope is good though.
 
Yeah, most of those are jokes, Greg. Hetty Wainthrope is genuinely good, though. Download that.
 
Hey.. I like Antiques Roadshow.
 
Hetty Wainthrope was pretty obviously "inspired" by Murder She Wrote, but they put charlie from Lost in for the kiddies.
 
He actually had a nude scene in that once.
