I'd like to see a mention of it. Preferably from Mick as landlord, maybe informing the rest of the pub or something. I doubt it'll happen but it'd be good. It'd actually be really interesting to have some characters debate the issue.

it will be there not sure it will be a debate tho.
I read about that ages ago now though so I've forgotten some stuff. Weren't they all on the same fishing/trading routes and traded together in the past? Had Scandinavia colonised the islands at one point or am I thinking of somewhere else?
The Norse from Norway colonised the islands from the 9th century, a genetic survey has shown that a sizeable amount of genes of the Shetland and Orkney population originated in Norway. Yes they did trade and fish there.
Shetland and Orkney were under Norwegian rule for over 500 years, Caithness in northern mainland Scotland was also under Norse rule.

Thanks I think I took more notice because my Great-Grandmother was from the Shetlands so it's a little bit of my heritage too! (I'm a right dolly mixture of the British Isles )
Anyway, I thought the segment fitted in really well. Surprisingly I found Tamwar to be an excellent and realistic choice as you can well imagine him devouring the news and Question Time! Jay was a nice touch too. Well done EE.
I followed the debates with interest, read the newspapers, watched the documentaries, changed my mind umpteen times, talked it over with friends and family.
I still couldn't give a monkey's as to whether or not Eastenders inserts two seconds of some characters making an awkward, tokenistic reference. The Michael Jackson one was cringeworthy. I don't see why any soap should be expected to do this - they're fiction not current affairs.
