The Bridge is back!!

[getdownshep]

The Bridge is back on Saturday 4th January on BBC 4!
Only for a double bill though but better than nothing.

sits down with some 'turkisch pepper'

[lurkingaround]

Ooh that lovely theme song. Hola everyone. All comfy?

[mousmous]

wow, what a start!
I lova saga, such a strong character.

[lurkingaround]

So what did you think of part one? I think it's looking good. Saga is herself or even a bit exagerated. Jeez part 2 starting already. Short break.

[lurkingaround]

She's great. They're good at introducing characters aren't they?

[mousmous]

intersting angle with the posh girl.

[lurkingaround]

Good, ja?

[lurkingaround]

I wonder what they're going to do with the truck?
Mad mads is a but pschopathic, as is the girl with the big earring. The guy who owns the Foxburg boat ship must be involved.

[squoosh]

I think they're overdoing the Saga Has Autism Don't You Know? side of things a tad.

[lurkingaround]

Yes I agree, she's a bit exaggerated, her character, that is. Otherwise it's good. Loving the storyline. V good telly. I expect they'll moderate her character over a few episodes. I hope they do.

[CyberMenStrual]

Martin's gone very grey hasn't he? And I was pleased to see Saga's boss still there - towards the end of series 1 he was going to relocate, ad I seem to recall that Saga was visibly upset.

[CyberMenStrual]

Parts of the plot seem very similar to series 1 - eco terrorism vs social awareness, and the killing mechanisms being linked to the message (food miles / destruction of habitat / homeless people and child labour in series 1). Could face-changing Jens have set this up (unlikely, but if I am right I deserve a mahoosive for calling it so early!)

[getdownshep]

Loved it. Liked the way they concentrated on Saga's relationship this time.
Did anyone else notice the picture of the woman on the desk of the posh girls employer?
The camera sort of fixed on it, it was either the new police woman or the "nasty" gang woman.
They have a similar hair style so I couldn't tell which one it was. Maybe he's posting the videos on line?
Can't wait until next Saturday

[MummyUmizoomi]

Brilliantly gripping! I hate it when its not the box set and you cant just watch one more before bed. (Grumpy emotion)

[ThistledownAndCobweb]

I thought the picture on the desk was the nasty gang woman.

DH thinks the new policewoman has designs on Martin

[getdownshep]

Yes thistle I agree with your dh.
When Martin walked into the office to meet them she definitely perked up then wrangled a lift off of him later on.
So nasty gang woman and IT man are an item.
Also when Martin knew he might have been in contact with the plague virus, I though he was going to go back into the prison to cough on Jens!

[CyberMenStrual]

I'm pretty sure the pic was nasty gang-girl - she was sporting the same dangly earrings.

[LucyLasticBand]

i saw this for the first time, as i tend to miss these swedish things and then regret it.
she is meant to ahve aspergers i read. she was going a little bit OTT in that respect.
but i enjoyed it and forgot i was usign subtitles.
and martin is fanciable isnt he?

[lurkingaround]

Oh yes the policewoman def fancies Martin. And bless him but he will prob have it off with her because he just has no willpower.

And I couldn't figure out who the photo on the mployers desk was either.
But surely the boat ship owner has something to do with this.

Isn't is great to have this for January. I rarely watch anything on tv, amend am v loathe to 'commit' to a series but I love this!

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

Managed to stay awake and watch both episodes. Yay!

[fussychica]

Totally brill. Have missed Saga & co. Won't miss Borgen sooo much now this is back.

[Sunnymeg]

We loved it! We also wondered if Saga has found her perfect man in Jakob and his job/obsession with comics. They could be peas in a pod!!

"Martin says Hi!". Brilliant writing as usual!!

[lurkingaround]

Gosh I think Jakob is gorgeous. What a find for Saga. Should that not be Såga? Anyone?

[lurkingaround]

Well I just wiki-ed it. And no, såga means to saw. It's just I thought the pronunciation 'aw' was å. Jeez I'm up myself, I know no swedish.

[nulgirl]

Loving the series. I will be so disappointed though if they decide to pair up Saga and Martin in this series. I love their quirky friendship and it would spoil it if they ended up in bed together.
