3 times MSPs have been depicted on TV

Unforgotten – Oxon & Bucks IT Solutions

The office of this fictional yet ultra-plausible sounding MSP makes a fleeting appearance in Series 2 of this cold-case crime drama.

Oxford-based ‘Oxon & Bucks IT Solutions’ is the place of work of Jason, the son of a man whose body had been shoved in a suitcase in 1990 and left to rot in a river.

In episode 2, we briefly see Jason being told by a colleague (presumably the MD) to “go home and take a few days off”.

“You shouldn’t be here,” the besuited man says, before adding sympathetically, “I’m really sorry for you”.

Industry implications

The office environment depicted is one of quiet efficiency, and the sympathetic boss points to a genuinely caring workplace.

To cap it all off, Oxon & Bucks IT Solutions is such a realistic-sounding name, we had to look it up to check it wasn’t real.

Plausibility rating: 10/10
