Look, don't even think about going out, and cancel the party immediately, unless of course, you are one of those frightfully smart people (modesty forbids and all that) to whom 'Rupe' has kindly (er, he is kind, isn't he?) donated one of those 'magi-do-flicker-box-thingies' which record anything and everything backwards, forwards and even sideways, because Forbrydelsen is back! No, no, that's not some new strain of flu, this is the Danish crime series on BBC4 starring Sofie Gråbøl as Insp. Lund, a slim, slight, lady detective with the unstoppable momentum of a Chieften tank in top gear! The great question which has kept middle-aged elderly men awake at night all through the summer and autumn is whether or not she will wear a different Nordic sweater in this series. Actually, there is an even greater question which is whether it is possible for the producers and writes to come up with a series anywhere near as good as the original? My fingers and toes are firmly crossed!
Almost makes me wish I had a TV.....

'W', you make me feel quite modern and, er, 'with it' (whatever 'it' is)!

A little nervous that this season and season 3 are both "only" 10 parters as I felt the last one got better towards the end but very much looking forward to this.

Is there a season 3?
Oh, God. Too much exciting news for one day.

Yes, Ben, that has me worried, too. The longevity of the first series and the slow development of plot and character was part of its attraction.
Ortega, it's series 2 for us 'over here'. Can you receive BBC4 'over there'? Hope so, it will take your mind off the Spanish elections and all the rest of it!

Yes, I see BBC (all channels) via Astra2. I know, I know, I do not pay a single cent of tv tax, so it's a nice present from you (shhh, please don't tell, just in case...). Only, the signal is not that good, so in rainy days, goodbye Sarah.
Bye the way, I bet on the same sweater. Did she even took once a shower during the 20 days?

Sarah taking a shower! Steady on, Ortega, you could get me over-excited!
