For fans of the French crime series Spiral. It's back tonight! 
The actress who played Catherine in Witnesses resumes her lawyer role, if I remember rightly her handsome lover died in the last series and Laure is now on maternity leave.
Yay!! I'm really pleased, one of my favourites, thanks for the heads up
Excellent - I would tuck Gilou in any day!
Watching it on catchup late at night [but keep falling asleep]. Going away on Sunday for a few days [no catchup there] so need to have caught up by then. Does anyone else fancy Laures tubby sidekick 
...?
Oh yes Tegan2 we could agree to share the crush
"Does anyone else fancy Laure's tubby sidekick" Absolutely, it's hard to explain why, he is indeed quite tubby and scruffy, but I guess it's the Gallic charm. I do hope Gilou and Laure become a proper item, although I'm wondering about the logistics of raising the baby once she is allowed home. There was an interesting snippet in the Sunday Times Culture magazine yesterday, apparently Spiral has a viewing audience of over 1 million which is more than most BBC4 productions can expect. They commented as follows "Spiral works partly because it is a superbly crafted police drama with some gripping plots, but also because the handful of leads, including Laure and Judge Roban are flawed individuals with fascinating back stories". They went on to contrast Spiral with the heavily plugged McMaffia where they thought it was difficult to empathise with most of the characters.
Oh God only 4 more episodes to go 
Saturday nights will revert to being dull, unless of course "The Bridge" or something of that calibre returns.
