Baptiste

[HalleLouja]

Did anyone else get a bit excited for the trailer for that?

Also now we have Silent Witness and LoD in the Horizom I may never leave the house.

Yes looking forward to Baptiste and the others and also Peaky Blinders (in April I think!)

Ooh is that the spin off from The Missing?

Yes it is Pinkywoo. I didn’t even know it was even in the pipeline until I saw the trailer after Luther. I may have screamed in excitement.

When is it on?! I need to set up a series link!

I got quite excited when I read Tom Hollander was in it..... then realised he wasn’t Tom Hiddleston

Both were in The Night Manager though. Easy to get them confused .

Except Hollander is a shortarse and Hiddleston is rather strapping

Love them both. I really miss Rev.

Can't WAIT for Baptiste. I thought The Missing was a bit average (although I did watch all of both seasons), but loved Baptiste himself.

I would rather Tom Hollander than Tom Hiddleston any day of the week!

I wouldn't kick either out of bed

I’m not the world’s most effusive person, but I did a loud “Yay!” when I saw the trailer for this!

Really looking forward to it; hope MNPD assemble here to “help” Baptiste when the time comes!

Do we know when it’s starting? I have silent witness to get through first.

Looks like it’s starting tonight.

Sunday night sorted. It's a pity it clashes with Dermot Bannons Amazing Houses on RTE 1 ( Irish national telly service)

I would rather Tom Hollander than Tom Hiddleston any day of the week!

Yes I love that little pocket rocket. Never understood the Hiddlelove.

I actually thought the last season of The Missibg was a load 'o shite but Baptiste was its saving grace, so I'm hoping it's a bit better. Though God knows what the difference will actually be.

I'm skipping Dermot Bannon cos I don't care about rich people's fancy houses, I only want to see Dermot having a nervous breakdown when the client wants white PVC windows, lol. Or god forbid, wants to choose their own kitchen.

There's a clash with Endeavour. Sadly I have to record both and catch up later as I have a work deadline whooshing by and need to work this evening.

I don't mind spoilers though.

I nearly had a breakdown watching it last week when a mouse or some kind of rodent ran across a wall while Dermot was admiring a house/ view., commenting on the fact that they partially bricked up a lovely view of the sea.
Neither he nor the owners ( or camera people) commented.
They couldn't have missed it. It was a real "don't mention the elephant in the room" moment.
I replayed it and yep, it was probably a mouse ( the house was in Australia so not sure it was a mouse as we'd know them in the Northern Hemisphere) or a small rat.
I can't believe they left it in the show.
Nobody else seems to have noticed.
I thought it would be all over t'Internet.
I am Musophobic so of course I noticed it.

QQ about Baptiste. I never saw The Missing. Will I need to know any back story to watch Baptiste?

Well, I was looking forward to Baptiste until I saw a preview that said it is about yet another murder of a sex worker and about he just has to ferreting around in the Red Light district

Cue: gratuitous scenes in strip clubs, lingering shots of dead naked women blah blah blah

Every fucking time ! These series are ruined for me.

You're right AnyFucker.

I am just fucking sick of it, bean

The torture and mutilation of women is mainstream entertainment these days. I will give it a chance and hope I am proved erong but I am not holding my breath....

Meant to say AnyFucker how I admire your posts to troubled women on other threads. Always sound!

Thanks bean

Don't mean to spoil it, folks. Just having a little personal rant.

Don’t think it will be as good as missing

But I do love his accent

This is interesting.
Mandy Patinkin says he left Criminal Minds because he couldn't take the constant storylines of the rape and murder of women.
