I’m watching it as well. Hopefully they will show the second series straight after the first. You should also be watching Braquo on FX channel. I think part of the appeal of the foreign shows is that you haven’t seen the actors in other programmes. There should be a rule that if you are on TV, you can’t appear again until you have spent ten years ‘honing your art’ in the theatres around the country. Hopefully this would put an end to much of the celebrity culture, especially the ‘I’m A Celebrity’ rubbish that pollutes my screen. Or did until Tivo came into my life.
The other gem on Sky Arts is the ‘Onion News Network’ which started this week. Although it is a remake of ‘The Day Today’, it obeys my ten year remake rule, so for many people it will seem brand new.
