Inspector Montalbano at Sea
The next and seventh episode of Inspector Montalbano, at 9pm on 24 March, The Sense of Touch, is a new episode and is not based on one of the books but rather a short story, from a collection (Montalbano's Oranges?) not (yet) available in English.

Sounds intriguing. I am one behind on Montalbano so so far I have only watched the book ones. I thought Excursion to Tindari very good - 2 hours long and they still didn't give themselves enough time to explain it properly at the end! Excellent, though (I managed not to fall asleep this time, unlike 2 Christmases ago when I missed most of the second half!).
