What are you watching?

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

We watched it too. Not sure if we're enjoying it as much as 'Inspector Montalbano' which was being aired in this slot until a week ago..... But maybe we're just missing the Sicilian sunshine.

We tried Montalbano but couldn't get on with it somehow. We have enjoyed the previous 2 scandinavian series we've watched. The Killing & Those Who Kill but missed Borgen (think it was called that). Perhaps we prefer weirdish female cops.

I enjoyed Those Who Kill, it's a shame they're not making any more.

I'm currently just over halfway through the 2nd The Killing box set, really enjoying it. Lots of twist and turns, but not as many as the first series (so far).

I think I know who's done it, but I'm bound to be wrong.

Excellent Aussie film, great acting, good story, and doesn't disappoint at the end. 8/10

Both were excellent

Haywire is not bad. And if I'm ever strangled, I think I'd like it to be like that.

 

[Lost Angeles]

Homeland last episode with an open ending.

The Bridge- one very weird female Swedish detective but very enjoyable.

Watched Haywire on Saturday and yes, If I were to be strangled I could think of worse ways

Fringe season 4 last episode, roll on season 5.

Blimey, Noomi Rapace is epic 8)

Fringe season 4 last episode, roll on season 5.

Oh awesome, last time I checked it looked like there wasn't going to be a 5th season. 13 episodes is better than none

You're not wrong.

I've got the extended versions box set, but haven't got around to watching them yet.

13 episodes, no fill in ones, so hopefully will got out on a high.

Excellent.

BUT, I'm getting very hacked off by contemporary production design-style that depicts the late-60s and/or early-70s as being very bleak - the BBC's White Heat is another recent example |(

Not all interior decor was a sea of turgid brown and orange hues nor did everyone light their homes with 10-watt lightbulbs. And in the early-70s, London-based 'officer-class chaps' wouldn't have been seen dead in a brown suit/shoes - "Never brown in town!" :shame:

Don't know if anyone else apart from Lost Angeles has been watching The Bridge on BBC4, but it's the final double-bill tonight. Blinding bit of drama. It's on iPlayer series catch-up if you missed it.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

As always I didn't know it was on until too late, so I think I'll have to get the DVD. Looking forward to it.

And what an excellent finale it was, too.

But, I still don't get the significance of the heart-swap widow's wig?

Why did almost every charecter wear the same clothes every day?

And good news: in a recent interview at Guardian.co.uk, Sofia Helin (Saga) reveals that series two starts shooting in October - clickety

Perhaps they can’t afford costumes as they are all skint from building that bridge.
I shall look forward to watching a new series as this was very enjoyable.

For someone who was not a fanatic of subtitles I’ve watched 10 parts of The Killing II, Those That Kill, The Bridge and all 3 Dragon Tattoo films and enjoyed them all.

I can now differentiate between Swedish and Danish but I couldn’t tell you which one is which.

With Homeland, Fringe and The Bridge finishing and the last part of Birdsong tonight I shall now have nothing to watch so I will retire to the conservatory for the summer and finish reading The Leopard by Jo Nesbo (another Scandinavian) followed by Omaha Beach and anything else I fancy plus the odd tune here and there.

Or in Saga's case, perhaps she spends all her dough keeping her rather lovely vintage 911 so clean and shiny 24/7 - despite all the snow, slush and rain?

Yesterday afternoon we went to watch Singin' In The Rain the musical at the Palace Theatre, absolutely brilliant :bounce:

One word of advice to anyone contemplating going, DO NOT sit near the front in the stalls unless you take your kagoul, cos you will definitely get wet. We were OK in the dress circle.

Well worth seeing. Top Hat next?

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Brilliant film, laugh out loud funny, and pretend you've got something in your eye sad.

More like this please.
