Hinterland

Thanks for the tip, I'll see if I can find it on the On Demand screens, we sometimes find shows from the other BBCs on there.

Sounds interesting, I will look for it thanks.

Hi again, I found it on 'On Demand' and it is now recorded to watch later.

maxdrans - I just watched this on your recommendation and it was very good. I watched it on i player with subtitles which translated the Welsh bits for me. The scenery was very wild, rugged and wet, typically Wales and i look forward to watching the next three in the series. Thanks a lot

Husband and I loved this maxdrans - thanks! I see there's another one on Monday 13th so will record that too.

Why don't they put it on the regular BBC channels?!!

grannynot I don't get why it's not broadcast on regular BBC either. It's already been on S4C ( completely in Welsh). I assumed, when it was shown on BBC, it would be in Welsh with subtitles. They've completely redone it, in English! Not sure why.

Best thing to come out of Welsh telly in ages!

I'm glad you all enjoyed Iam looking forward to the rest of the series and I agree it should be on regular BBC channels

What, even better than Dr Who gettingonabit ?

jess I meant Welsh-speaking telly!

And miles better than Dr Who, in my humble opinion!

Yes I agree. Best Welsh thing since Gavin and Stacey.

Having watched Episode 2 last night, never mind best Welsh thing, this is the best thing on telly at the moment. Knocks socks off every other crime drama including The Bridge. Atmospheric, beautiful cinematography, great cast, foreign language with subtitles what's not to like?

Foreign language - its the main one round 'ere but it is good to see on the TV how bilingual Welsh people operate.
DH said "do you think we're going to get an episode filmed in the summer?"

LOL we thought that was filmed in summer! We love the moody landscape and seascape shots. Smashing.

A lot of this series is filmed around the Aberystwyth/Borth area, I have family there and they rave about it , must find it on iplayer today and see what all the fuss is about.. apparently I might see a relative or two in the street scenes

Don't know where you live grannyknot .... In summer it is very green.

Really enjoyed it, think I have missed the second episode hope not. Will get it on catch up though.

nb Hope I don't see any of my relatives in the street scenes. (Oh no they are Pembrokeshire)

It is gorgeous around there.

Jess I live in London. And I am so over living in a big city. I'd be happy to come here as a tourist once in a blue moon. I'm retiring this year but husband will still be working so there is no escape for me at present.

I just watched the first episode and have to agree I thought it was very good. Loved all the beautiful but sometimes brooding landscape a good story well told.. now do I spend another 90 odd minutes watching the second episode as its so wet and miserable out

tanith no contest. It's actually better that the first one.

than... not that!

I loved this week's even better, because there weren't any loose ends left annoying me. Agree that it is very beautiful. It really reminded me of the first series of the swedish version of Wallander that was shown.

Well I agree ladies the second episode didn't let me down. The only niggle I had was there were bits in it that seemed very similar to the first episode, the lingering shot on a photo, the envelope containing vital evidence and he found another tin to rattle although it wasn't opened this time.
I do hope they film in the Summer too as so far its far too much like real life Wales, cold wet and bleak a lot of the time they actually do have some beautiful Summer weather..

Only one more episode! Filmed in better weather it seems.
If you enjoyed this you might like to rent the Welsh film, Patagonia. it is subtitled in Welsh and Spanish 50:50 , No murder mysteries but it has got the lovely Matthew Rhys (He's played Dylan Thomas, buthas he played Burton yet? Surely nobody else could get cast?) and contrasting scenery of rural wales and patagonian desert.
