For those of you who are fans of Montalbano - a new series starts on BBC 4 tonight at 9pm.

Thanks, I hope it's as good as previous.

Thank you for letting us know. A lovely way to end a sunny Saturday.

Did anyone watch this Saturday? Montalbano just did not look the same to me. Perhaps he has lost weight, I even had to look to see if it was the same actor.

I found the sexual violence hard to take and not the usual cozy Montalbano image.

I think Mimi is looking very old now. I don't know if you've read the books Luckygirl but there's a lot in them that isn't cosy at all. They are certainly very political.

For anyone suffering Montalbano withdrawal there is a little clip of him thanking his English fans on last Sunday's Points Of View. Very sweet and should still be on Catch Up.

I loved these series. I bought the first book and found the stories much harder to stomach than the tv stories.
Two interesting interviews from youtube (rather long.):
