Jimmy Perez actor has said he is to auction his pea coat for a "good cause".
A production team from the BBC drama Shetland have been in the isles today (Tuesday) preparing for the series to resume shooting.
Filming on seasons six and seven of the hit series is due to begin in April. The next two seasons will be shot back-to-back.
Shetland producer Louise Say told the BBC that the next series had an “absolutely riveting” and “hard-hitting” story.
The series will be filmed under “very strict guidelines”, she said.
“When we come to Shetland we will test all our cast and crew before we leave,” she said.
She said the programme had been given the green-light by NHS Shetland and the SIC.
The show, which stars Douglas Henshall and local actor Steven Robertson, was last seen on BBC One in April 2019.

I love Shetland with Douglas Henshall.
It is a great tv detective with excellent scenery of Shetland. I haven’t been to Shetland and have read about the other islands. I work in the NHS and would love to live here. It would be great to have more tv programmes from Shetland as I loved Island Parish Shetland and watched every programme.

Brilliant series with superb scenery taking me back to the time I spent at school in Shetland when my father the reverend David Walker was the minister of North Roe Church in the late 40’s / early 50 ‘s.
