Rebus was meant to be Viaplay's big original UK commission for their disastrous 'Nordic Noir' streaming service. Presumably they were quite far down the line with the filming when they axed the streamer. It does say "in association with the BBC" in the credits so the BBC must've put something into it rather than simply buying it as an acquisition.

Viaplay seems to have sorta "survived" partly by becoming a service thru Amazon Prime. Though as you mentioned its stand-alone service was dumped outside of the Nordics. Not sure what the means for these programmes that were commissioned. In the US and Canada a streamer called MHZ Choice streams mostly all the Nordic stuff and most of the Walter Presents type of European foreign language stuff not sure where the English language programme will end up. Maybe BritBox.

Rebus is just like Guilt and any other dramas which were always meant for the network but that the BBC will premiere on BBC Scotland first so that it bumps up the viewing figures for the channel to have something to show that it's doing it's job.

In the schedules for this week, Monday to Thursday, and next week, Tuesday to Thursday. So it hasn't finished yet.

In related news, the entertainment news programme The Edit, finished up a couple of weeks ago. It's already gone from iPlayer.

Feels very much like it’s limping along when I’ve seen it recently, without the high profile presenters or exclusive stories etc. A shame in lots of ways, but no point in broadcasting an expensive flagship programme to a tiny audience.

The Nine will continue to limp along until Ofcom approve the changes to the BBC Scotland channel. The Edit/Seven Days weren't part of the service licence so could be dropped without Ofcom approval.

With the greatest of respect to those who worked on it, it's hard to know who exactly would want to watch a showbiz programme on BBC Scotland when you consider just how many iterations of showbiz news shows have flopped across the whole of the UK in the past. Maybe it was just a cheap way of using the news studio on the weekend but this was surely one of those shows that was frequently hitting zero viewers. I think they're probably lucky it lasted quite as long as it did.

Yes, you're right. It was pretty cringey the few times I watched it. Whilst they got a lot of interviews at premieres, they also seemed to often give Hollywood A-Listers cans of Irn Bru (just because Scottish), and also featured far too much Ross King (doing his best 'Scottish' accent from "here in Tinseltown")...
