*MONTALBANO ALERT!!!*

HildaW...Monty Don...very tasty

Monty is delightful, have read a couple of his books and you soon realise that he is a devoted husband and father which is lovely to see nowadays. I am more than happily married (and an ugly old bat to boot) but one can still appreciate a charming human being from a distance.

Since we're on the subject of Montys, how about my favourite, Monty Halls? I always look forward to his TV programmes - and I like Reuben, the dog.

anno He's marvellous...as is Reuben

I have been terribly teased by my children for watching Montalbano. They say that it's rather tame and predictable and had a good laugh at me over it!! There was alot of talking yesterday evening which was quite hard to follow and I have to agree that I had worked out the ending. Despite this I find it really entertaining and will keep on watching!!

gangy5 - I had problems keeping up with the story last night as well. I think that was because I was on Gransnet all evening and wasn't concentrating on the story. Thankfully, it's easy to work out and lovely to watch!

I even forwent (?) Last Night of the Proms to watch Montalbano and was not disappointed! I am constantly amused at this red blooded Italian resisting scantily clad ladies or porn videos in a distincly un Italian way!!

gracesmum I like the fact that he's not an "easy catch" ...he's utterly gorgeous, isn't he?

Sigh....! I cannot stop looking at his bandy legs.....even when he has his trousers on......

And when they are off...................................??

Was it our very own innocent Nellie who said - but you don't notice them [the legs] when he's under the duvet!

But they're such strong legs......

Quite!

Do you think that he was once in the Italian Mounted Police? - cause of the legs!!
It all adds to his appeal - not being perfect!!

I think his legs are so bandy to accommodate the size of his Sicilian meatballs!

Oh veagasmags - you are a caution!!

Smashing response vegas- and I bet you they're knocking like mad!!!!

I love prog too. Think Montalbano is lovely and cuddly and I love being transported to sunny warm climes. Anyone notice how few people there seem to be about in the street scenes though! Guess very small population!?

Yes, DH and I said just the same thing - nobody on the streets. Perhaps these scenes are filmed at the crack of dawn. It's a shame that it's not more populated as these scenes seem rather unrealistic. We love being transported to sunnier climes though and the scenery is wonderful.

Silver and gangy Yes, the streets are almost always empty and spic and span tidy too. Never mind, I'm always far too busy watching the dishy Montalbano to care about the scenery. Mind you, the sunlight bouncing off the pale walls, together with the deep shadows, create a feeling of tranquility. Sigh!

Just caught up on the latest episode on the I player. Is it my over-heated imagination or was he swimming in the alltogether in the closing scene? Blast it - it was just too far away for me to be sure.

vegasmags, there seems to be a theme running through all your posts on this thread...

And I make no apology for it Ana. Dreaming is now all I can do !

vegasmags....he was!
