John Hannah (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Sliding Doors, The Mummy, McCallum) stars as Detective Inspector Rebus in these four primetime film dramas for SMG Television from Clerkenwell Films. Adapted from the novels by acclaimed writer Ian Rankin, the Rebus stories have been applauded for their intricate plots, keen characterisation and flawless sense of place.

Rebus himself is an enigma, fighting his own weaknesses whilst dealing with the sad consequences of human frailty. He has seen it all before, but his cynicism is redeemed by an unexpected humanity that reveals he is more disillusioned with himself than others.
