REBUS SET 1-TV DVD REVIEW


A short blurb from Acorn Media about Rebus Set 1- Ken Stott (Shallow Grave, Messiah) brings the brooding Inspector John Rebus to life on screen, straight off the pages of Edgar-winning Ian Rankin’s crime novels.

A well-written Drama/Mystery program starring Ken Stott as Detective Inspector John Rebus. There was a first series of Rebus starring John Hannah and then by Ken Stott for the rest of the series run. These stories take place in the seedy underbelly of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland. Wonderfully written by Ian Rankin who has penned 15 novels of the Rebus character so far. This set contains the first 2 episodes with Ken Stott. It also contains a trailer for the series, an Ian Rankin Bio and Cast Filmographies.
