Monarch of the Glen Series Five continues the tradition of exemplary writing, the best cinematography and scenery seen in any series television whatsoever. The series has also been exemplary and unusual in terms of its superior continuity. I have never detected errors in scenery or inconsistencies in characters or prior happenings, in this or any other MOTG series. Series Five joins the inhabitants of the castle ancestral home struggling once again with the complex financial problems of our current era. Archie, who has breathed new life into the estate in terms of its economic future begins to feel a bit of the wanderlust. He wonders if Paul should in fact, take the reins as the older brother. Archie's wife, who loves Glenbogle passionately is not so sure. Golly finally meets his daughter who has been away at university and attempts to forge the relationship with her that he'd wished for originally. Monarch of the Glen employed some of Scotland and the UK's finest actors and continued the tradition with a myriad of fine character actors in guest appearances. My all means, watch series 1-4, and buy series five. Still framed with the musical compositions of Simon Brint, it is still like going home.Read full review
I love the characters and the interweaving of personalities - They act like real people even though they are actors themselves. It has a great mix of family relationships, Love interests, and enough work to keep a therapist busy for a long time. It makes me want to go to Scotland and check on the real Scots in the Highlands!
Thanks

This is an excellent BBC/Scotland series. I have watched all of the seasons from one through five and it is really funny and entertaining. If you like comedy you will certainly want to get the complete series. I think they run up to season eight.
I must say that I fell in love with this series very quickly, and this is the last season that shows it's true beauty. Not many of the original characters are left and the challenges they face are not up to par, after season 5.
