Inspector Montalbano's back on track
The next and fifth episode of Inspector Montalbano, at 9pm on 10 March, is a repeat of: Excursion to Tindari, which was first shown on BBC4 in 2008, and is based on the fifth book in Camilleri's series.

I'm really enjoying these. I will try to stay awake in this one, I remember falling asleep 20 mins before the end when it was shown a couple of christmases ago, so I missed the denouement! (Could vaguely remember it from the book, luckily, so could keep credibility just about intact.)
