The Killing III

[Anna]

Lady Gould informs me the lass has a new jumper - at 280 Euros an ideal Christmas present for Anna I would have said Caliban!

I see that Caliban has studiously ignored this posting ...... perhaps he's already bought it and doesn't want to spoil the surpise!! I actually prefer the burgundy one in Series II to this new one ....

[vinteuil]

Eyes down for 10 episodes of good dark crime drama, the last of the Killing trilogy.

The first two episodes shown one after the other starting at 9pm today on BBC4 and BBChd

Unmissable, I'd have thought !

... Mme V is an addict; me, I've never got into it...

I foresee separate salons for this and the next eight Saturday evenings. Anyways I've got books to read and music to listen to ... (sniff, sniff )

I decided just to let anton get on with his purchase!

(ohh... it was supposed to be a hint to me was it!?!? )

I expect mangerton has already knocked up something in rough Shetland for you anyway...

... apparently (according to the Norwegians ... ) even the Danes don't understand Danish ...

To be quite honest - who would not welcome a Rough Shetlander in a Shaggy Sweater? I know a lot of us here would, whether batting for Ambridge or Darrington. There is just something about the Scottish accent and men in kilts that is irresistable.

Hugely preferable to a Rough Shetlander in a kilt and a high wind, thank you vindebergerac, you're a marvel

(Got another bottle of Pécharmant on the go this weekend, as well, thanks to you )

Too much great music to listen to rather than waste time watching anything on tv (except football occasionally).

All is silence ..............

I have yet to see part 2 but I found the first hour very much up to standard.

I've enjoyed what I've heard & mean to catch up with what I've missed.

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

.... just caught up with the last half of the second episode .... i think this series is going faster ... i am line and sinkered already

[DracoM]

Top stuff.

BBC and other agencies flounder so much doing this. The editing is so fast / slick, narrative speed excellent. The whole concept is less is more whereas with us, more is not enough.

I am in exactly the same position at the moment, and of exactly the same opinion. Great change of pace for the final 20 mns of Ep. 1 with a shower of clues and plot developments
