Outlander: Complete Season 1 (18)
This 16 episode series was shot partly in Scotland but screened on Amazon Prime which means everybody heard about it but virtually nobody saw it. As for the plot, it turns on the story of a world war two nurse who is catapulted back in time to 1743 where she falls in with a Highland clan and tries not to think about the calamity steaming down the track three years hence.
Mr Holmes (PG)
Bill Condon's adaptation of Mitch Cullin's novel is set in 1947 and finds Ian McKellen plays an ageing Sherlock Holmes whose memory is not what it once was – which is an issue as he tries to recall his last case and the reason he gave up sleuthing for good. The action cuts between the “present” (which requires a heavy amount of prosthetics for McKellen) and 30 years earlier. Laura Linney co-stars.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
