Rebus on ITV

Ken Stott is wonderful as Rebus in ITV's new dramas, and the plot of last night's episode rattled along enjoyably. But why do they have to remove so much of Rankin's characterisation. Stott has the face and the one-liners, but not the anger or distress, nor the obsession with the Stones - or drink. A shame that ITV have turned a superior character into an ordinary character in a superior crime drama - could have been better; but still enjoyable stuff.
