I've booked theatre tickets for a couple of Saturday nights; I'm so annoyed with myself [I don't know how to work my new recording thingy either]. I know it's usually repeated later in the week, but it's not the same [and my iplayer has gone into stoppystarty mode].

Jacey, I would imagine it will be on BBC4 on Saturdays. This series doesn't focus on the family of the victim, so I read, it is mainly about Sara. I don't care what it is about, just watching a great series is all I need.

Watched The Killing on iPlayer and then persuaded my husband to watch the repeats with me (he usually has to have his feet nailed to the floor to watch anything at all); happily he was as enthralled as I was and he couldn't wait to watch each episode. We are now in a state of great anticipation.

That makes it almost like being at the cinema, because you don't move around or talk to anyone while it's on.

Loved it! Loved the jumper too, but did you see what it costs? One disadvantage with progs like The Kiling, Wallander etc is that you have to be facing the screen to read the subtitles, not as I often do, fiddling on the laptop with the TV in the background! On the other hand, when littlest fella was having a sleepover with us and we were tiptoe-ing round the house, watching TV in total silence had its advantages.
Can't wait!

Don't worry; the first series didn't make sense either..you just let it sort of wash over you...

I missed the first series. Will the second series make sense without having seen the first?

..and just a reminder that there is a threat to the BBC4 budget...

Do you think it might be a disappointment? I'm only saying this because I'venever been so absorbed by a tv series before and nothing can possibly be as good..can it?

Yes Hattie64 ...I watched the 1st series ...fortunately when it was repeated ...four nights a week ...so only took 5 weeks ...don't think I'd have remembered the ramifications if it had been weekly confused

So yes, will watch the new series ...but which channel? night?

I loved this programme and the new series starts in two weeks, only ten episodes this time instead of twenty.Sara Lund wears a new jumper, a red one, but after showing the series in Denmark in her new jumper, the fans didn't like it, so half way through she wears again her patterned one!!! Anyone not seen the first series, watch this, it is absolutely brilliant.
