The people at the Daily Telegraph customer services department are really nice and deserve a special mention here.

I missed the last 4 of their audio book CD's and I phoned them up last week to ask whether I would be able to purchase them for £5.

The lady was really nice on the phone and said she would send me them all free of charge as they had a few left over.

Sure enough all 4 arrived today in excellent condition and well packaged (it cost them nearly £1 to send it)

Special thanks to the Daily Telegraph for making my day. It has restored my faith in humanity.

There was a trailer on TV last night for a Rebus DVD give-away in the Sun this week. I think there were six to collect.

Does anyone know how much the set of 6 discs and the packaging for the whole set of WAW was. We have just received the packaging but not the discs and looking at the email from the Mail it says only the box was ordered. Hubby is going to be very annoyed with me if I ordered the wrong item and I need to check before getting onto the Mail, lol.

Yes yes I know I should have checked the email earlier but I'm female, I don't make mistakes, lol.

6 d.v.d. s and packaging for the whole set was £8-24.
I posted on here when I rec'd my 6 d.v.d. s (about a fortnight ago ?) and my packaging arrived Monday of this week.

Saturday

Rebus - The Falls

Starring Ken Stott
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0496561/

A student has gone missing in Edinburgh and there's very little for Detective Inspector John Rebus to go on apart from his gut feeling that there's more to this case than a runaway high on unaccustomed freedom.

Two leads emerge: a carved wooden doll in a tiny coffin and an Internet role-playing game. Rebus concentrates on the coffin, eerily reminiscent of sixteen similar relics found on a hillside in 1836, leaving DC Siobhan Clarke to deal with the cyberspace Quizmaster. She's young enough to navigate the net, but she may not have the experience to spot the pitfalls in a game where lives depend on split second timing. With Rebus buried two hundred years in the past, DC Clarke is going to need more than just luck to save both their skins - professional and personal...


Sunday

Rebus - Black & Blue

Starring John Hannah
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243153/

Rebus is juggling four cases trying to nail one killer - who might just lead back to the infamous Bible John. And he's doing it under the scrutiny of an internal inquiry led by a man he has just accused of taking backhanders from Glasgow's Mr Big. Added to that there are TV cameras at his back investigating a miscarriage of justice, making Rebus a criminal in the eyes of a million or more viewers. Just one mistake is likely to mean an unpleasant and not particularly speedy death or, worse still, losing his job.


Monday

Rebus - The Hanging Garden

Starring John Hannah
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243520/

Detective Inspector Rebus is buried under a pile of paperwork generated by his investigations into a suspected war criminal … Until the running battle between two rival gangs on the city streets arrives at his door. A Chechen gangster is running prostitutes out of Bosnia via Tommy Telford, a Glaswegian upstart muscling in on Edinburgh territory. When his own daughter is the victim of a hit and run Rebus is forced to acknowledge that there is nothing he wouldn't do to bring down prime suspect Telford - even if it means cutting a deal with the devil.


Tuesday

Rebus - Dead Souls

Starring John Hannah
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0296167/

A call from an old friend brings back memories and more than a little guilt for DI John Rebus of the Lothian and Borders police. Suddenly it seems Edinburgh's streets are crowded with the lost and forgotten.

Stalking a poisoner at the local zoo, Rebus hits upon a freed paedophile, camera in hand. Outing the man rouses the vigilantes and leaves Rebus with mixed feelings and another weight on his conscience. But the straw that looks like breaking Rebus's back comes courtesy of the US government. Feted by the tabloid press and put under Rebus's watchful eye, a convicted murderer is looking to play games with Rebus as his pawn...


Wednesday

Rebus - Mortal Causes

Starring John Hannah
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0297358/

It is August in Edinburgh and the Festival is in full swing. A brutally tortured body is discovered in one of the city's subterranean streets and marks on the corpse cause Rebus to suspect sectarian activists. The prospect of a terrorist atrocity in a city heaving with tourists is almost unthinkable. And when the victim turns out to be the son of a notorious gangster Rebus realises he's sitting atop a volcano of mayhem about
to erupt.


Thursday

Rebus - Behind The Scenes

This documentary looks at the making of each Rebus episode and features interviews with Ken Stott and author Ian Rankin.



As a massive fan of both the Rebus books and television dramas, I must say that I've always preferred John Hannah as the Edinburgh detective as his performance is more faithful to the character from the novels. Also, the original Rebus episodes from 2000/2001 are more darker and last for a full 2 hours each. With the later Ken Stott episodes recently much of the plot from the novels has been reduced in order to cram everything into a 90 minute running time. Sadly this doesn't seem to work as effective.

So this week you can get all 4 John Hannah episodes free, including one episode which has never been commercially released in this country on DVD.

Enjoy!!! :beer:
