Personally, I can't wait. At a complete loss since the end of Borgen. Smile

Slightly OT, but for the people who have taken dc's to copenhagen, where did you stay?
my dc's are obsessed with the idea of going to "where lego is made "

I remember loving Tivoli Gardens when I was there.....just gorgeous.I think we stayed in the YHA, and one girl got pneumonia, and we all got our passports nicked. (Scandi-crime was rife even in the 80s.) Hope you have better luck, teej!

Am enjoying "the Bridge" enormously....knocks even my beloved Inspector Montalbano into a cocked hat. I missed episodes 1 and 2 and can't get i-player to work at the moment, so Ive seen only 3-6 and been a bit confused - I felt like calling for Fazio for a few facts.

I wonder if it's actually a woman perp - so tall and slim? Only the voice has made it seem to be definitely a man so far - could this be some kind of trick? Daniel the journo is either v gullible or somehow involved, if so.

Having said that, now we know what 70s porno man is capable of (always suspected ironing was dangerous) he is definitely in the frame for me. I expect the next 4 episodes to apparently exonerate him.

teej, I shall look out for that minifigure! Where is your whiteboard?

scummymummy · 08/05/2012 22:20

A woman perp is a good thought... Perhaps Martin's boss? Or husband murdering, Martin shagging wig woman, who after all was present at the very first scene?

We stayed in a youth hostel in the downtown area. Basic rooms but v v v cheap with a brilliant bar/cafe area. t'was fab.

befuzzled · 08/05/2012 22:45

ha! i only caught it because skandi-crime forces me to stop multitasking and actually sit and concentrate on the screen to read the subtitles! thats why I love it I think - total switch off and relaxation. Sadly my ironing pile is suffering as a result.

More I think more I am convinced he/she/they have to have some kind of swedish - danish duality going on. Or be a completely different nationality maybe - Brit!?

Not sure if this has been asked: what language is the Perpetrator (TT) talking? They made a big thing of the Social Worker not talking Danish, so is TT talking Danish, or talking Swedish with a Danish accent?

"Not sure if this has been asked: what language is the Perpetrator (TT) talking? They made a big thing of the Social Worker not talking Danish, so is TT talking Danish, or talking Swedish with a Danish accent?"

Danish, apparently, with a strong Copenhagen accent. According to people who speak the language writing on the Guardian blog.

LaVolcan · 09/05/2012 12:55

Tak. You shouldn't have mentioned the Guardian blog.Wink On page 7 now, only 20 to go.

Teej - have taken DS to CPH many times - usually stay at Scandic Sydhavnen which is very spacious, new and v. clean - and cheapish (come on this is DK, nothing is cheap except fags and coffee filters) as it is a couple of metro stops from central station. Have also stayed at Copenhagen Star hotel with DS a couple of times which was totally fine, they do a good (included) breakfast there and it was really clean and is right by central station. I was almost put off by reviews on tripadvisor about it being in the red light district but we noticed nothing and it certainly feels safer than central London. I think those few dubious reviews were from fussy middle aged Americans who have never ventured out of Kansas before.

I love going to CPH, and so does DS. We usually rent a Christiania-type bike to get around.

daffodilly2 · 10/05/2012 19:46

definately talking to TT via internet - August thought he was talking to his former girlfriend but was talking to the psycho TT who had hacked her account - how he found out they were after her.

That whole teenage girl story was so scary

diddl · 11/05/2012 21:48

I´m only up to ep5 so far & quite enjoying it-bur Saga annoys me to fuck tbh.

How on earth did she get the job??!!

I mean she comes across as a simpleton.

lurkingaround · 12/05/2012 19:00

How can you sy that diddl? Saga is far from a simpleton. She is bright bright bright. Quite incisive. Like I said before probably on the ASD spectrum, but so what. I like her character, and I think the actress is excellent at portraying her.

So, are we all set for tonight's episode?

Yama · 12/05/2012 20:59

Okay, signing in but I'm far from sober. How do you lot manage not to drink on a Saturday night?

teejwood · 12/05/2012 21:04

hullo yes lurking am prepped for tonight!

and thanks everyone for your copenhagen tips. slightly ot again but is the danish legoland better than the one in windsor? ds really wants to go. and to the factory too if possible?

tonight i mostly think the extent of the links between stefan and the journalist and mr no-one will be revealed. but we still won't know who mr no-one is.

ohhhh and charlie girl is back tonight. she's scary even off the drugs...

diddl saga is many things but simpelton she is not

shit - what the bugger is he going to do with the kids??????

teejwood · 12/05/2012 21:05

had a glass of wine to get me through the voice, yama Wink

lurkingaround · 12/05/2012 21:06

Oh no, what's he doing with the kids..... Not sure I'll be able for this one.

teejwood · 12/05/2012 21:07

who was the cop who walked behind them taking off a black coat?

diddl · 12/05/2012 21:08

I meant in her mannerisms & interactions.

I don´t see how she could get the job.

teejwood · 12/05/2012 21:08

ahhh -we were right - no sex!

teejwood · 12/05/2012 21:33
