Like it! What is Saga doing, though, when she rubs the inside of her upper lip/gum (where she's scarred)?

I loved the bit where the young boy gave Saga a hug. I find her character so adorable and the chemistry with Martin is wonderful. The subtitles for this series are very good. I actually prefer it to The Killing [and I never thought I'd find anything better than that].

It is brilliant isn't it? I wasn't sure about the first two episodes, but three and four were excellent. Playing "spot the Swedish actor", who is Saga's boss in the wooly pully? I thought it was the father from The Killing 1, but can't find it on IMDB.

Me too - but then I love languages. The Bridge is always very good. I liked Spiral, too. Or Cogs as it should probably be translated to. They have a slight difference to them that was lacking in the British version of Wallander, although it was good it wasn't as good as the Swedish versions.

So - are you thinking that the poor lady's boring husband is maybe not as boring as he appears?

I never miss BBC4 on Saturday night and the Bridge is as good as ever. The documentary or nature programme on before 9 is also on my viewing list. I confess I dozed off during last nights Bridge but I will catch up on the iplayer.

Saturday night telly is so dire I look forward to 9pm BBC4. I loved the last series of The Bridge and this one is just as exciting. DH has got used to the subtitles now - his eyesight's not brilliant so he wasn't keen at first.

Shame Martin's lovely house isn't in this one sad

I love nearly all the subtitled detective ones, Swedish, Italian whatever.
