The Killing - latest Eurocrime from BBC4

[muminlondon]

Promising start to the series last night - just as The Guardian promised, Prime Suspect meets State of Play with a bit of Wallander (i.e. Scandinavian and with subtitles). Really moving scene where the couple whose daughter's body had been found then tried to explain it to their younger children.

Anyone else see it?

at bill corkhill!!

she was moving away to be with the love of her life and that git took it away from her

wigwam what made your dp guess vagn?
dp and i both marked him down as a contender because he was so creepy - and the way he asked "do they know who did it?" in a worried way quite early on, but have only become convinced as the story has played out

Lunds using removal men, isn't she - does the slippery Leon work for other firms? Is he the hall lurker?

wonder if the leon casually called vagn to say "guess who i just had in my cab?"

fivecents think you are right - leon's a last minute scarlet fish!!

proles i know - "first the norwegian..."

on that note - can see why she was pissed at bengt but no reason to kick him out of bed, surely?!

Is Leon the cabby (part time?) God did I miss that?

actually feel quite sorry for shagaround - he was obvs in love with her and didn't attack her in the flat as i suspected - feel a bit bad really

but holding a police officer hostage at gunpoint is a really dumb thing to do. nevertheless, once it's proven he isn't nanna's killer i think meyer might have to move onto another desk job, no?

wigwam - that might mean space in bengt's hot tub for some time yet

Loved it. Lund is so intense.

Love Troels and love Meyer. Am also in NW town - I want a Troels-alike sighting.

I just remembered that I thought I caught sight of a black wolly hat in the first ep. Tbh, I think I'll be disappointed if it's Vagn. It was almost too obvious at the beginning. He's defo hiding something.

teej, think it was a lucky guess really. And he does look shifty.

Oh the plus side, at least we know Shagaround was responsible for the ugly boots.

The boots must be why she chucked him.

Teej, at the thought of Bengt's empty hot tub.

Also feel slightly sorry for Shagaround. Those staged cheesy pics of him with Nanna were slightly vom-inducing.

Is Leon the cab driver? I missed that too.

about the boots - totally. "YOU think I would wear THOSE???? DUMPED mate!!!"

Five cents - I'm with you on that one. That's why she stashed them in her wardrobe. Ashamed to be seen out in them.

What was Pernille thinking? And was Vagn trying to put her tights on for her? Strike anyone else as rather odd/inappropriate, even though she was doing one of her stares.

Handy that Lund knew of a lip reading expert who worked in a laundry.

Perhaps her dishwasher had bust again.

yup - the cab driver is leon and he seems to OWE theis and vagn big time
wigwam like your theory he was linked to the drug dealer but they offered to let him off if he reformed his ways; they helped him out by giving him a job till he got on his feet and then he took up taxi driving

wigwam - was that laundry place maybe actually a charity for the deaf or something so lund went for advice on someone who could lip read, and that girl just happened to work there too and be available?

feels like some explanatory footage was cut out of the script at that point! or maybe there was a sign we missed?
