From DR (Danmarks Radio) the makers of Forbrydelsen/The Killing, Borgen started last night on BBC4 in the "usual" 9pm slot, two hour long episodes, back to back.

It's a political drama, very much in the style of both The Killing (with some familiar faces in unfamiliar roles) and The Wire.

We've just watched both episodes back to back and are now desperate for next Saturday's offering. Thoroughly recommended.

It's in Danish, subtitled in English, but I don't mind that at all - it does make you concentrate and not "multi task".

"Borgen" is apparently Danish slang for Christianborg Palace, which is where the Danish parliament is based.

Nice but that young lady with the fringe is pushing my buttonslick
If you mean Katrine, she looks very like a friend/work colleague of mine. And no, I'm not posting a picture, before you ask!
