Ten episodes of Wallander were recently broadcast on BBC Four. The remaining three episodes will be shown over the Christmas period.
Exact transmission dates/times will be available from mid-December 2009, and we'll publish the information here when confirmed.
thank you, i am really chessed off about this and wondered where it had gone :-(
ReplyDeleteIt's typical: imported programming, whether in translation or American, tends to get jumped around in the terrestrial channels, moved to late at night, shown two eipsodes at once, ended in the middle of a two-parter, or, as in the case of Wallander, with three of 13 shows to go.
ReplyDeleteOn the commerical networks the breaks are inserted at a specific time, without regard to the pacing of a scene, dialogue is clipped or lost, even when a natural (eg-Us commercial break) is only a minute or two away.
It's foreign, why should we care? We have Anne Robinson, Jamie Oliver, Ant and Dec, and Kirsty Allsopp. Now that's television!
Typical of the beeb, now its become popular with no regard to viewers they will put it on over christmas against a commercial offering. It would also have upset waking the dead viewers who were probably watching,
ReplyDeleteThanks for finding this out. Can Waking the Dead viewers not work out how to use a video recorder?
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying this version much more that the Ken B ones and have heard more comments about it at work (library) than when Ken's were on.
ReplyDeleteThe continuity announcer before the first episode of 'Spiral' sounded rather disdainful about it!
Well, we would like repeats in the meantime, we only found it about episode 8! It's not as if they don't do repeats....
ReplyDeleteBBC4 repeating series 1 from the 7th of October...11pm mind.
ReplyDeletewonder if they'll bother to show the episodes in the right order this time?!
sod luvvie Ken, we want lovely Krister!!!!!
I spotted the repeats when I looked through the tv guide yesterday. I'll do a fresh post to highlight the good news.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know why they are missing out episode 2, in their latest repeats? Episode 1 was last Wednesday, and they will be showing episode 3 on Wednesday 14 October. Why miss out Episode 2? When you click on the episode on the BBC4 website, it says that it is not available to watch again, and no broadcast date since July. I have watched them all, but wished that I kept them on my Sky+ box, to watch again, instead of deleting them.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the episode guide from Yellow Bird films - episode 2 was'The Village Idiot' so, so far we have the correct running order.
