Every episode on iPlayer from this weekend.

Brilliant news - thank you!

Hopefully that will get me through Christmas...

Or at least give some ideas as to how best to dispatch Auntie Ethel.

Whilst on my social distancing I have decided to watch the entire 34 episodes I bought on DVD when my local HMV closed. I will be watching them in chronological order.

Now in the present day
Range rover Evoque
Imigrants on the island
LBGT characters
Apps on phones
Cell phone records on towers


But he still has his st box Tipo and they must be the only Police force in Europe who dont have any computers

Still the scenery is nice as usual

He's lost a lot of height though. The young Montalbano was taller than most of his colleagues.

An Italian policeman's salary doesn't stretch to platform shoes these days. Plus he has the Tipo to keep on the road.

Thoroughly enjoyed Saturday's episode.

It's the anticipation of waiting to find out what the "food interlude" will be - and this week's did not disappoint!!!

[P5BNij]

I love the slow pace of it, at times it's even more glacial than Inspector Morse and just seems to flow. The backdrop is frequently stunning, even the crap parts of 'Vigata' look good!

I assume that Montalbano is as realistic a portrayal of Sicilian life as Midsomer Murders is about England, but they do manage to make living in a stone hovel seem an appealing lifestyle.

Well put! A bonus in this first new episode was the beautiful little Alfa Giulietta Spider, what a gem of a car

I enjoyed this hugely too .
I don't know how many suspects they got through until they found the murderer , caught doing a dirty deed , naked !

And the side story of the thief chap ,caught the in laws shagging......10/10.

The credits said made in 2019. How much longer will that Fiat go on? Thankfully, not much rain there........................

[21st Century Man]

Where was everyone? Ragusa was deserted, not a soul in sight.

I know what you mean - and they have featured in previous episodes, but Sicily has been the Piccadilly of the Med since the dawn of history,
even the Normans dropped by!

BTW Another one this Saturday (17/10)

Caught up with the latest episode last night.

Good to see the coppers using an Alfa Guilietta instead of the SEAT Leons they had in the previous series.
