    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

    There is to be a Radio 4 spin-off too!

    English-language series based on Danish TV show will start on 16 December, starring Tim Pigott-Smith as Hans Gammelgaard. By John Plunkett

      Beginning in December, 2013 (in 12 parts?), BBC Radio 4 describes "Borgen -- Return to the Castle" as an "ecological thriller," starring Tim Pigott-Smith. I detected no thrills at all in the first four episodes so (unfamiliar with its prior history, having seen none of the pinups featured in year 2007 TV discussion) cannot hear what all the fuss is about.

        For what it's worth we got several friends hooked on Y Gwyll. So I think many 'round these parts will enjoy the
        series too.

          Sounds as if it has nothing to do with the political drama on television made by DR in Denmark, other than being set in the Christiansborg Palace (or "Borgen")
