Anyone else watching this? I'm really enjoying it. Good to see Troels from The Killing pop us the other week too.

Its great isn't it? Did you spot Troel's PA (the one with a severe dose of the mental) appear last week? She was the female deputy leader of the Freedom Party who had a bunk-up on the control desk of the TV studio with the TV journalist.

I did indeed I think she was calle Ri in The Killing? Has lost a bit of weight since then. Katrine is still my favourite.. I'd watch her in anything!

Also spotted Moxy from Auf Wiedersehen Pet as the ex KGB Chief too.

[Paul Dishman]

That's right. I didn't recognise her at first with her hair tied back, but I knew I'd heard her voice before.

The actress playing Katrine was also in Bluestone 42 playing...........a sexy Danish journalist

I saw that too I've got The Bridge and The Killing 2 & 3 lined up on DVD for when Borgen finishes, although I've stupidly managed to read a spoiler about whodunnit in Killing 2.. doh!

[Paul Dishman]

You'll enjoy all of those, The Bridge in particular

I have seen some of this series.

But i have real trouble paying enough attention with sub-titles,i had the same problem

with Inspector Montalbano....

I'd quite like to watch Borgen I.

[iva cosworth]

Watched and enjoyed the final 2 episodes tonight,paid attention to the sub-titles

too for a change.

I am just amazed that Danes speak better English than me..

Depressing, isn't it? I know a few Danes and they speak English fantastically well. It was always a little thrill when a new character had to speak to Jeremy though; they all had slightly different English accents - I think Brigitte sounds a bit Essex.

[iva cosworth]

Not sure about Essex but i tried really hard to listen for an accent....

Nope,nothing.

Even Birgitte's ex spoke with barely an accent too...

Anorak fact,the ferry to Esbjerg leaves from Harwich ,Essex.

Bump! Just finished watching the box set of Borgen. Excellent political drama. Great story lines, great acting. Oh, and Katrine reminded me a bit of Claudia Schiffer. Also, a lot of the production team had the same Christian names as the characters. Did anyone else spot that?

[strummerville]

Thread bump! A new series of Borgen is back on Netflix. Love this, so good to see it back.

Tthe Killing may be the best thing I've ever seen on TV. The acting was off the scale
