Alison O'Donnell has teased the plot of Shetland season 9, revealing that it's a hugely personal case for her character, DI Alison "Tosh" McIntosh.
Yes, Tosh is now a Detective Inspector and thus on the same level as her cop partner, DI Ruth Calder (Ashley Jensen). But, when the new series begins on Wednesday, November 6 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, Tosh finds herself in a troubling position when friend Annie Bett goes missing and Annie's estranged husband, Ian, becomes the prime suspect.
Alison explains: "Initially this isn't a police matter, it's just something that is happening in Tosh's private life. Her friend has requested they meet, she had something important she wanted to talk to Tosh about — on a professional level — but when Tosh arrives at the agreed place and time, her friend is not there.
