The series, "Monarch of the Glen" is the best that telly has had to offer in a very long while. The characters are engaging and the dialogue entertaining without having to resort to the cheap trash of vulgarity and nudity.
Neither does the programme stagnate its characters. Even the numpty and humorous Duncan is seen to grow into a more wise and yes, clever character who seeks to better himself while maintaining loyalty and compassion as his bywords.
The scenery is just as much the star of the show yet it is not used as an excuse for slack plot standards. Indeed it is part and parcel of the plot.
This is telly at it's best. Unfortunately most programmes do not aspire to such a standard. We look forward to it on DVD so that we may enjoy it time and again until another producer has the bottle to buck the trashy and cheapened standards of today's telly.
