When the news broke that Henshall was to quit Shetland<\/a>, everyone at Radio Times<\/strong>\u00a0was shocked. Based on the brilliant stories of crime writer Ann Cleeves, in Shetland Henshall created a unique detective in what has become a very crowded genre.<\/p>\n Smart, sensitive, quiet and empathetic, DI Jimmy Perez was a tour de force of acting by Henshall. Shetland\u2019s huge popularity was built up over 10 years, season by season, and is now one of the biggest shows on the BBC.<\/p>\n Henshall has no regrets about leaving \u2013 but isn\u2019t sure how the show will continue without him. In conversation with Amy Raphael, the actor discusses why this season is his last and what the future holds for Alison O\u2019Donnell\u2019s Tosh.<\/p>\n \u201cIt will be weird knowing they\u2019re shooting an eighth series and I\u2019m not there,\u201d he explains. \u201cBut I\u2019m not sure what the show is going to be. I hope it works out and I wish them every success, but it isn\u2019t going to be the show I was in.\u201d<\/p>\n Plus, he talks about having \u2018imposter syndrome\u2019 as a result of his background.<\/p> Shetland season 7 begins on Wednesday 10th August on BBC One and BBC iPlayer<\/a>.\u00a0Ann Cleeves\u2019s Shetland novels<\/a>\u00a0are available to buy now.<\/strong><\/p>\n Looking for something to watch?
