Music Coming Soon to a TV Near You

Saga is an interesting character. Would you say Asperger's, or some other social disconnection ailment? I loved her calm assurance to the chap in the car that he wouldn't feel a thing

I looked up that bridge and it's one hell of a piece of engineering.

Not on tonight, but Friday 25th 19.30 (plus two late repeats Saturday and Monday):

Documentary on Frederick Delius

And for Scandidrama fans the original Wallander actor - Rolf Lassgard, is back next Sat for a two-parter as a profiler. "Cracker" in Swedish. Tak!

I'm mourning the end of The Bridge so I'll check it out. Ah!

Yes, good ending! Gotta love Saga; it would be good to listen in to the conversation at dinner .

I did feel the plot had holes the size of the Baltic Sea in it - not least being how could TT know that Martin would be assigned to the original top and bottom murder on the the bridge; I'm guessing that Copenhagen CID has more than one investigator . . But if you don't think too deeply it was a good series, the best aspect being the relationship between Martin and Saga IMO.

There's a season 2, so we can hope they're both back for that; Saga is, 'cos I read an interview with the actress on the Telegraph website . .

If there was a UK version, it could be called The Tunnel, and pair Maigret with Morse.

Great news! Saga is an intriguing creation and more than once I nearly spluttered coffee everywhere at something she said

I think you could apply that logic to pretty much any crime drama to be honest, as I doubt there are many places in the world where the same Detectives always get the lead on murder cases - you would have to be a pretty unlucky Detective to get stuffed with all the work, all the time! "Oh bloody hell Boss, not another murder case"

I too will miss it, I thought Saga was one of the most interesting characters that has ever been on TV and she played the part so well. Go Saga . . . maybe we should start a fan club?



I want to know where that Club is she goes to when she's feeling 'frisky', as I'm setting up camp in there

I expect there's a queue at the door by now . . .

[MartinT]

You may not want to try Saga's approach in the club though, Tim. You could end up with a very slapped face

I have a funny story which foils that theory Martin, mind you it was in 1978 and I was a lot younger and fitter then as a handsome 'new' sailorboy in Plymouth

[MartinT]

Do tell, Tim. Did you try the Saga direct talkin' approach? Did it work?
