Customer Reviews

A legendary performance by Iain Cuthbertson
I remember watching this great series with my Dad in the 1970s and I can't wait to turn the clock back with this DVD. Iain Cuthbertson was the perfect embodiment of a straight-talking, hard-nosed PF, John Sutherland, who was never one to shy away from conflict in order uncover the truth and get to the bottom of a crime that had been committed.

Sutherlands Law.
Sutherland's Law [DVD] [2008]

I am watching this dvd at the moment. It really takes me back. It is set in the Scottish countryside with terrific scenery. The acting is good on the whole. The dress reminds me of my youth, perhaps that is what makes it attractive to me. It is good value if you like the old television stuff.

An interesting curiosity
Good to see this landmark series available even though many of the original episodes were lost by the BBC. Also a must to any collector of old series and we did quite enjoy the different stories on the discs. However, there is a distinct lack of back-story and character development. There was little to warm you to Sutherland as he was very gruff and unpleasant, even to his staff. Also when you consider it was filmed in such a beautiful art of Scotland, there were hardly any outdoor shots other than those which could have been street scenes anywhere. Few scenic shots - you certainly couldn't recognise it as Oban. None the less, an interesting curiosity and I enjoyed seeing some other excellent actors appear who became better known later on, particularly in Scotland.
