Noticed there is a new version of Van der Valk starting tonight on ITV. Wonder if they will use the same theme tune?

Didn’t bother watching this week’s episode. Was it any better than the previous two?

grandMattie Mon 11-May-20 19:13:47

No.

Thanks gM

Thank goodness that was the last episode.

We recorded the programme and watched it this afternoon only to find it had not recorded the last half hour. Never mind I wasn't that struck with the series.

Wonder how the actors in a programme such as this feel when they read the critics reviews ? Do they think when they are rehearsing what a load of rubbish it is? Or do they feel it will be a huge success?

Let’s hope they don’t look at Gransnet!

I await news that a second series has been commissioned.

Yes it has Calendar I read about it in the paper today. Very disappointed with it. ?

Oh NanKate it beggars belief how some rubbishy programmes get re-commissioned, and other good ones are abandoned.

IMO, good ones include Scarborough and Home Fires.

Bad ones include Hold The Sunset.

I wonder CalendarGirl if the powers that be ever ask the likes of us what programmes we want.

No of course not NanKate we are only the customers, I do often wonder who decides which programmes are to be made and shown.

Scarborough was great. Such good characters.

Calendargirl Thu 14-May-20 06:34:45

I still smile when I think of the estate agent scene in Scarborough, Jane10.

Rosalyn69 Thu 14-May-20 06:44:35

I enjoyed it. smile

NanKate Thu 14-May-20 07:10:56

I liked Scarborough too.

It was OK. About 6/10.
