[Closed] Borgen

I am very excited. 😀

It's the last series so after this it'll be. Hej Hej

Has anyone informed Stoner? 🙂

😉

I'm not, bring back Montalblano 😡

Loved the first 2 series - best thing on for ages.

OMFG!!!! Thanks c_g!!

🙂

The first series was great but still haven't caught up with the second. The only issue is that it reminds Mrs CD that I should be learning Danish.

Tried it but couldn't get into it the same as I did with The Killing and The Bridge

Thanks for that. 😀
On what channel is it on? As I've watched the first and second series on DVD. P

BBC4 Sat @ 9pm

Thanks 🙂

Thanks for that!

@cheers_drive, laere Dansk, det er ikke for hårdt

lær Dansk, det er ikke for [s]hårdt[/s] svært

Fixed that for you 🙂

I'm not, bring back Montalblano

I was quite pleased because I thought it had finished last year, so the 4 recent episodes were an unexpected bonus 🙂

Assuming that I was the only person on here to watch this last Saturday?

Is it OK to confess to hair envy? 🙂

But happy with your green shoe collection? And Kasper's hair? wtf.

I watched it and enjoyed it as usual. Wondered if Gordon Brown has considered starting a new party! The new English boyfriend seemed it a bit weird. Wonders if there is a vacancy there;-)

Kasper? 😆 Was it a quiff or what? 😀

Agree about her new bf, creepy imo.

Great TV though. 8)

Took me a while to realise that the role of Kasper hadn't been taken by a different actor!

I didn't recognise Kasper at first either. As for the new boyfriend ...don't trust him Birgitte he used to live in a place called Glen Bogle 🙂

Birgitte crush undiminished 🙂

First 2 episodes were good but tonight's episodes raised the bar quite a bit! Excellent tv.

Borgen fans really ought to get this on DVD: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2216240/?ref_=nv_sr_1

So ... someone's got to say it ... Kasper. 😯 What is going on? ❓

Deliberately not spoiling in case some haven't seen last night's episode yet.

I just wish that they would stop with the double episode pish. I have enough trouble coping with concentrating properly for an hour without having to double up.

Ha ha! *I think* I may have snoozed a little during the second episode. 😳

Glad I'm not the only one who missed part of the second one....heavy eyelids round here last night!!! Thankfully I have now learned to record it all just in case!!

I can't see if its repeated anywhere, any ideas? Can't get iplayer as I'm in Ireland and can't record on BBC 4...again as I'm in Ireland?! Or does anyone know how to fool the sky or iplayer into letting me watch/record?

What is going on with Kasper's hair and beard more like? I fully expect him to have dreads next week 🙂

Damn it want to post but dont want to spoil.Excellent tv.

Kaspars hair - understand he has been doing some other filming which necessitated the original hair cuts. Seemed back to usual this weekend.

This might explain Kaspar's smaller part this time and Torben getting a bigger part as it were.

Birgitte.....if you look at her in profile...she has a kinda long, weird nose.

This series is much 'softer' than the previous two. I am missing the cut and thrust of the (political) struggles. Katrine is off her game this time round a bit too.

Torben's boss...a bit of a stereotype but entertaining nonetheless as a 'bad guy'.

Albanach - you need a thingy to make BBC think your computer is in the UK. I use myexpatnet and it woks fine - worth a fiver a month.

RIP Borgen. 😥

You're thinking this is the last in the series? Its left open for another...

Nope. This was the last ever. The series has been cancelled now.

To be fair....there's only so many stories you can tell and stopping now prevented it becoming stale.

More importantly, the Bridge is in January!

The Bridge? Explain...?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh, excellent. 8)

Any more of The Killing?

haven't listened to it ye't but there is a radio 4 drama series on afternoons this week called "Borgen - outside the castle"

Forbrydelsen (The Killing), Broen (The Bridge), Borgen.... top entertainment.

[b]@Kryton57[/b] "The Bridge" is another exceptionally good Danish/Swedish crime thriller series.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1733785/?ref_=nv_sr_2

Thought The Bridge was brilliant really looking forward to the second one, bottle of red and chilli Doritos at the ready!

Any more of The Killing?

Thought that was it for this one? I see the sceptics are doing a fourth season....

Thought the Bridge was ok,not sure the character's could run for another series, IMHO of course.

The Bridge II is great 🙂 I still love Saga.

Saga's car..... 'nuff said.

Both Borgen and The Killing were commissioned for 3 series only, so that is the end of that.

For those with to much time on there hands there has been a recap/blog/ comments on Borgen here:

Looking forward to The Bridge in January (4th I think).

Reminds me I have to sort out ur Scandinavia holiday for next summer. Want to cross The Bridge and probably have a look around Ystad. Without getting murdered in some dispicable way!

Borgen was excellent. Is there anywhere I can watch the first series of the bridge without buying a dvd or subscribing to pay tv?

Yes, focus on the future - The Bridge was the best of all the Scandi-noir stuff IMO and series 2 begins on 4th January. Saga Noren, one of the most fascinating heroines of our time: how often do you get a female autistic skillfully depicted in drama or fiction?

Cancel everything and watch!

About as often as you get a likeable and principled staatsminister

Is there anywhere I can watch the first series of the bridge without buying a dvd or subscribing to pay tv?

The Bridge season 1 is being shown again on BBC4 starting 3.30am on 23/12.

Or a one month free trial of netflix (not sure if that counts as subscribing to paid tv))
