Calum,
Saw your ex once, somewhere in London. A startling sight ! Now where would Moira as an eight year old in '57 or '58 , seen 'Jazz On A Summer's Day' ?

Side issues? From an initial reading of this thead and wonderinig if Calum was really married to Moira Stuart and how many other wives has he had .... I certainly have issues with his domestic arrangements and wish to know who and when! I have to say that whilst I didn't stick with the first series I am hooked on this second series.
alas Anna i must heed m'learned friends advice [one might have said injunctions, but not while within 500 miles etc etc ...so embarassing] that when it comes to exes and domestics, silence is the only policy ....ahem
...and as El Senor Blues would readily confirm if his ducks would let go of him is that the marvellous Moira was indeed married once to Big Ron Coltrane, Tenorist of that parish, and now of the North Sea [reputedly]

I didn't watch the first series of this, and I am now kicking myself for missing it, because I think Series 2 is outstanding television. Gripping, believable and quite moving at times as well; and brilliantly acted to boot- the look of complete devastation on the Foreign Minister's face after he was confronted with the photographs in that last episode, for example.
I may need to get hold of a boxset of series one.
All the episodes from season 1 have been posted on Youtube, Mr Pee!

She wrote the article that Calum linked to and I quote Surely it’s the latter, for by any measure Borgen is very poor indeed: badly written, sentimental, clichéd and above all absolutely devoid of any sense of drama.
