Isn't anyone watching THE KILLING?

[Scylla]

Final 2 episodes (of 20) - BBC4 - this Saturday night.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, never mind.

If you do, it will be great to have company for the denouement of the greatest thriller ever in the history of TV (except Tinker Tailor).

It mustn't be Vagn

Umm was that the Danish series ? i remember starting to watch something with that sort of name a while back , but the wife doesnt do subtitles , so never watched more than 5 minutes of the first episode ! was it good ?

[Scylla]

Was there something about the greatest thriller ever in the history of TV (except Tinker Tailor) that you didn't understand, MrL?



But at least you took an interest, so I love you and hate everyone else

I'm going to have to sit on the "never mind" step

[Scylla]

You wouldn't like it, Chrissie, it's too cruel and conspiratorial for you. If you could overcome that you'd like it very much because it's so understated.

The heroine is a police inspector called Sarah Lund. She always wears very unglamorous hand-knitted jumpers which have become a bit of a cult @ £200-ish (knitted in Faroe Islands from organic wool):

LOL DOH o yeah :-[ , but i dont remember "Tinker Tailor" but remember my parents talking about it
Do yor watch "Waking the Dead" ? its the last series , which is a great shame , some nice intriguing story lines !

Its the last week of Radcliff & Marconi" on bbc radio 2 and Radio 7 is getting rebranded as Radio 4 extra , not a good week

[Scylla]

Hehe, if you don't remember Tinker Tailor you certainly won't remember Paul Temple on the radio the first time around

Am not looking forward to what the BBC has in store for "BBC4 Extra" - I do know there will be fewer children's programmes, which they had been airing in the very very early morning for some strange reason ???

No , but im really loving them now , are they the original recordings or have they been re-done ? as they sound very crisp !

I loved the Paul Temple progs - there was always a great gathering around the radio.

One's own imagination clicked in - not like now where everything is so explicit!!

Yuk!! MM

[Scylla]

The current series stars Peter Coke (pronounced Cook) and Marjorie Westbury, same as in the 1950s I always found MW's voice most distinctive and attractive, and I think I must have caught the end of Coke's predecessor's reign as Paul because I remember a different voice.

I agree about imagination, MM, and wish you had had faith in mine rather than subject me to those blubbery belly-dancers

MrL. I've watched every series of Waking the dead - agree a real shame it's the last

Paul Temple - is he related to Simon?

Just looked him up , and what a very interesting person he was , and also a shell artist

Its a shame many of the Paul Temple radio series have been lost forever , but they have remade a couple in recent times , hope that continues , but the way the BBc is going that must be doubtful

Its a great shame , not sure who's decision that was ?

As to Simon , that was Templar and that was my main viewing as a kid , think ive still got the matchbox volvo saint car somewhere

Hi Scylla,
I would be more than happy to swap hand-knitted jumpers like that for vaping tech worth a lot less than 200£ !
If you ever THINK of buying such a thing gimme a call I have a huge collection that I used when I younger and didn't care what girls thought of my appearance! Lol nowadays I have 3 of them that I use when cold weather really hits! Ahah
That's a very common art in the north of Portugal! Eheh you can choose colour, size and "drawings" ! When's your birthday again?!
