Borgen!

[teejwood]

Can I just say I heart this - great story, great writing, and meyer and strange from the killing I and II - what's not to like?!

loving it tonight. even if it is a bit 'soapy'.

nooooo - "i know my wife loves me but i'm not sure about that prime minister lady"!

i want birgitte to have her cake and eat it!!!! oi - scriptwriters - let it be!!!! successful woman does not have to have a shit private life - okay?

joan i lol'd at that too

agree with you mousey even if aitch is telling us all it's just a glorified soap

must be bloody tough being a high ranking person!

btw - redroof - bloody hell i watched festen years ago - of course that was why i'd recognised theis birk larsen!!

mousy even tougher when you dad is quaffing all your good wine

smugmumofboys Tak, tak, for persuading me to buy The Killing boxset. Am on episode 17 and still none the wiser to who killed Bambi Nanna. Loving it though, it's very addictive :)

It's "tak for mad "( mad is food, pronounced Mal ).
"vi ses" see you
Swearing in Danish " hold da keft/ shut up, shut your mouth
"forsatan" for Satan ....

Bloody brilliant
Yes yes and yes

evening all!
had to log in to say - oh no - psycho stalker student has appeared!!!

oh no. she brought him cooking.

keruffle thanks for the language lesson
pantah glad you're enjoying TK1!!!

Getting slightly panicked about the end of Borgen - do we think the Beeb is going to run "The Bridge" immediately after?

Glad you're enjoying it pantah

Found tonight's episodes really hard to watch - but in a good way. The Kaspar storyline is so so sad and the tension between Birgitte and Philip came across really well.

Love it.

teejwood I hope so!

I was reading the Sunday Times today and heard about The Bridge, but they have also just finished the third series of The Killing and have commissioned a second series of Borgen too, which is good news IMO!

Loving this series.

Felt so sorry for Kasper - had guessed it was going to be something like that.

Strange gets totally on my nerves - he's not at all supportive in my opinion. And why don't they get some bloody help! Can't imagine SamCam saying 'oooh Dave - can't make that important dinner as can't get a babysitter'

I've only watched the first five episodes, so haven't read the whole thread yet for fear of spoilers, but I was wondering if we ever find out what Birgitte did before she went into politics?

I suppose technically that's a spoiler too, but I'm curious! Love this program, really hope BBC4 show the second series soon too!

Just watched 7 and 8 :( actually cried at the end of 8 I wish they hadn't made their home life suffer so much-surely they would get help in, Mrs CB you are quite right!!

There's a second series?!
I love my Scandic saturday evenings.

sorry to be a bit out of the loop, what night/channel is borgen on? Really want to watch it, love the Stieg larsson/Jo Nesbo books so fancy trying Borgen.

Redroof, there sure is - according to Wikipedia the second series was shown in Denmark last autumn. And a third series is planned for autumn this year.
Not that I have been googling obsessively or anything...

minxthemanx, it's on BBC4, I think it's shown on Saturday nights but I have been watching on iplayer. All the episodes are still available as far as I know, not sure how much longer for though.

A meeting with the school psychologist.

let's just savour those words shall we - school psychologist.

As opposed to an ed psych who is funded to see about 10 children a year per LEA.

they are making a third series of Borgen - interview with the PM/Birgitte/Sidse here

Strange could manhandle me his supportiveness appears to be weakening at the offer of good job. I thought he'd agreed to be SAHD for 5 years then go back to the business world.

Hope Kaspar gets some closure now and starts speaking the truth. Off to read about second/third series now :)

I've gone right off Strange, he was so manly in The Killing. He's just no longer doing it for me in Borgen. . What a moany-pants.

Ah, perhaps he was more manly than this point in the series, but also a mass murderer in K2 my happy place is him in the first few episodes-witty supportive and sexy!
