Spiral 4

[YouMakeMeWannaLaLa]

Starting tonight at 9pm BBC Four. Double episode!

[Moominsarehippos]

I am not enjoying the latest skandi offering. Humph.

[ThePathanKhansAmnesiac]

So glad i found this thread. Dirty Laure ,love it. Am I the only one who loves the amoral and totally divine Ms Karlson? She,s great.
Shocked Sami caught it, but tbh I thought he was a bit of a chancer coming back and expecting Laure to fall at his feet.
Yy Pierre, so lovely, so ridey, so would.

Montalbano I love him! I,ve missed loads,can I get him on amazon I wonder.

ROAR at Montalbano with hair and bare - yes please

I thought we had had all the eps of Montalbano, according to wiki, but according to IMBD there was a 9th series and we haven't seen those stories yet.

And yes, Montalbano bingo is VV dangerous

YY emily that was him!
Married to Lisbeth Salander IRL
With a makey up surname: Rapace

There are only 7 actors in Scandinavia according to dh.
The mikkelson brothers are two of them. Talk about Montalbano bingo- we often play scandi actor bingo. Lol
Yer man who played nana birk larssons dad was also in Borgen as an mp

"cadaverous Roban"

[EmilyAlice]

BTW was it really the lovely and tragic Stefan Lindman from Wallander as the first villain in Skyfall?

[EmilyAlice]

Well when you are sixty something the bald and bandy legged Salvo or the cadaverous Juge Roban are what passes for hunky really....

[Cremolafoam]

[Moominsarehippos]

You are horrid! Still, better than hairy and very miserable/grumpy/argumentative as in the books.

[Cremolafoam]

Lol re bandy legs. The new one( salvo junior ) looks a bit more hunky and dishy with devastating Sicilian looks. Salvo senior must have been the victim of some terrible work related trauma that caused his hair to fall out and his previously perfect legs to curve outwards. They've lots of lemons there so it can't be ricketts can it

[Moominsarehippos]

Sigggghhhhh. Happy now. Not bandy. Lovely.

[fussychica]

The article in the link said 4 new episodes Moomin
Emily lol at bandy - you are so right

[Moominsarehippos]

Any more Montalbanos planned? I heard they weren't making any more, and I think they've all been shown. If it has been a UK series there'd have been a film by now.

They are all very touchy-feely in The Spiral, non? Obviously don't have the same sexual harassment laws over there!

[EmilyAlice]

He doesn't look much like Old Montalbano does he? Will he be as bandy? Interesting casting challenge....

[fussychica]

Laure wash - do me a favour that's why she's known as "dirty Laure" in this house - as well as for her multi man sex!
Ging (as we call the Kaarlson) - happy just doesn't seem right
Glad Tintin made it - he's my favourite - ok he's not as pretty as Phillipe but he's a bit more real.
Thanks for the link teej - look forward to it all - this week it's a Euro crime - German - so you know it won't be funny
Love the Montalbano bingo - still got a couple of episodes to watcg - we'll have to try it - not sure the wine rack holds enough bottles

[MrsSlocombesPussy]

Really enjoyed the last 2 episodes of Spiral.
My favourite bit was where Tintin saved Gilou's life at the hotel, and Gilou told him he'd snog him if there weren't people watching!
I love the way the members of the team look out for each other, and cover for each other when they cock up.

[Cremolafoam]

• beard
  Lol

[Moominsarehippos]

Bear or bare?

[Cremolafoam]

Ooh Montalbano With Hair and Bear
Can't wait!

[Rowlers]

I'm with you, teejwood!
Youmakeme don't think Laure has changed clothes for 4 series.

[teejwood]

Oh god Youmakeme you are sooo right. When she jumped out of Vincent's bed I thought, surely a quick shower and toothbrush?!

Rowlers it's a deal - we'll do a bingo for the next eurodrama

Speaking of which, I am sure Young Montalbano will find some fans on these threads

[YouMakeMeWannaLaLa]

Or, if you want to stay sober; drink every time Laure or Gilou has a wash and a change of clothes.

[Rowlers]

Montalbano bingo! Brilliant idea! There must be a bingo idea for all of them - glug when Kurt Wallander looks at nothing much on the beach, glug each time Gilou looks as if he's almost forgotten his lines ...

[Rowlers]

Yes, why did they have him speaking English? DP and I both got the giggles whenever he came on.
I did think the way they portrayed the HLM was good - scary feeling on those housing estates. grim. Not sure how realistic though?
I'm always slightly uneasy about race ishoos on Spiral, too.
