Van der Valk

Apparently not but there will be a nod to it - I loved Barry Foster

I'm looking forward to it, and I didn't like Barry Foster so will not be nostalgic about the earlier series.

Thanks for the heads up tattynan. I no longer have my TV guide so I could have missed it,

The original version is on the Talking Pictures channel. 81.

I just turned over to Primates with Chris Packham.

So much more interesting.
Even DH woke up.

Not enjoying it. Thanks for that tip, Callistemon.... I will turn over too.

I'd rather be watching the programme about primates. Him Indoors is watching Van der Valk

Oh dear. Not enjoying it at all. Switching off.

Watched the Primates ?

Loved it!

Hint of the old theme tune over the closing credits. Watched with half an eye, but wasn't gripped.

Marc Warren seems all wrong, I always think of him as Danny Blue in Hustle!

Storyline was good, we thought, and of course the Amsterdam background was great. Loved the nerdy guy with the glasses but - as EMMF1948 says - Marc Warren only ever plays Danny Blue! I think we'll stick with it, it's an enjoyable way to pass a Sunday evening.

Loved the theme tune
Eye level

Primates. Was fabulous. Loved the swimming and “ bombing “macaques

The swimming and hanging around on the strings of bunting was wonderful.

I was struck by how much they look like us.

V der V was just awful - so disappointed , just wanted something to help spend a couple of hours easily instead it turned into count the cliches But somehow too inert to turn off/over

I didn't like it either. I watched it half heartedly with DH. If he wasn't in the room, I think I'd have switched off altogether and listened to the radio.

Really liked the new V der V. Reminded me of a young Terence Stamp. Liked the one liners and loved Clueless. Will def watch it again.

I thought it was dreadful. Horrible characters - especially Van der Valk - and very boring.

I started to watch it and thought it was very slow so turned over and watched the NEWS of all things and then fell asleep.

We enjoyed it. It wasn't riveting but it had it's moments.

Not keen. Found it difficult remembering who was who. I find the same with certain Scandi dramas, the foreign sounding names muddle me up.

Not interested in programmes such as Primates.

I wanted to watch it and my partner was less keen, he found the interaction between the characters rather aggressive.
Then we found that we both wanted to see it through to the end to find out what happened.

We will watch again.
