Shetland will be back tonight as Tosh and Ruth continue to work on their latest case Shetland star Lewis Holden, who plays Billy McCabe in the BBC series, has paid tribute to his on-screen wife, who has joined the cast this series. Billy has taken on a more central role in the storyline, and for the first time, he was able to shoot scenes away from the police station. This series marks the first time the case touches on Billy’s personal life. His wife, Morag, had previously worked with the victim, Eadie Tulloch, in the Shetland social services department. While Eadie’s late husband Robert was once Billy’s sergeant in the police. The Tullochs were mentors and friends to the McCabes, so Eadie’s death will be very difficult for them. Particularly when the spotlight of the investigation unearths difficult questions. While fans were thrilled to see the beloved character have a main storyline, the actor has opened up about what it was like to play after Billy’s wife, Morag, was also welcomed to the cast. Lewis began, “This series, we finally get to meet Mrs McCabe, Billy’s wife, Morag. She’s fab! It was great having Leigh Biagi on set and exploring the personal life of Billy away from the station. “Billy and Morag have been together for some time now. They have a great wee house, that is to die for, with just seals and seabirds for neighbours. They are living the ‘Good Life’ and are very happy, but trouble is brewing.” Paying tribute to his on-screen wife, the actor went on, “Having Leigh playing Morag has been incredible. We didn’t know each other before this series, but we hit it off right away. I think we look like a longstanding couple! “We’re always so fortunate to have such a wonderful guest cast. Year after year, they are always brilliant.” The synopsis for tonight’s episode reads, “Chris and Hayley’s attempts to pay off their spiralling debts go violently wrong, with a Lunniswick local getting caught in the middle. “Calder and Tosh question Stevie only to face the wrath of Amy as she grows more protective. Isobel worries as she tries to hold her family together, a pregnant Jess sneaks out to meet a mysterious friend, and a weary Tom is forced to make some tough sacrifices. Sandy makes steady progress into Eadie’s finances, leading him to a troubling conclusion.”.

Joe Torre Documentary Directed by John Turturro in Production
Joe Torre, the longstanding Major League Baseball player, manager, and executive, takes center stage in a new documentary directed by John Turturro and produced by Motto Pictures. The film, titled *Joe Torre*, chronicles the remarkable career of this iconic figure, who managed the New York Yankees to four World Series championships—and achieved much more along the way.
Torre remains the only person in MLB history to have recorded 2,000 hits as a player and 2,000 wins as a manager, a testament to his extraordinary dual success in the sport.
“Joe Torre’s lifelong journey to the World Series is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, through a changing landscape and turbulent times. There’s something deeply human about Joe Torre’s quiet strength,” said Turturro in a statement. “In a time when men in sports hid their emotions behind toughness, Joe defied convention. His strength comes from compassion, his victories from understanding people.”
Currently in production, the documentary explores Torre’s life story—from a nervous child with an abusive father to a professional baseball player who won the league’s Most Valuable Player award (MVP) in 1971, and later to a manager who was fired three times before taking on his role with the Yankees.
Torre played in 4,272 games as a player and experienced a career as a manager before finally leading the Yankees to a World Series victory against the Atlanta Braves.
“It’s hard to imagine that a nervous Brooklyn kid who had low self-esteem could go on a journey like mine across more than 60 years,” Torre reflected in a statement. “I once didn’t think I was going anywhere. But baseball gave me a place to hide and ultimately the opportunity to find things in myself that I never knew were there. I am grateful that John Turturro, who witnessed the hometown dream I’ve been fortunate enough to live, is joining me to look back and tell the story in a personal way.”
Stay tuned for more updates on this compelling documentary that celebrates the life and legacy of one of baseball’s most respected figures.
