    So it wasn't! Well spotted, old bean. It's been a very fraught few days trying to close on the sale of the flat - even this afternoon, I find I am not in funds, though my solicitor is, as she has failed yet again to do something critical. Just as well I'm able to stay on in the flat by renting it from the new buyer - I'd have arrived at the new abode to find it hadn't been paid for by her transferring the dosh! What with Virgin cutting off the landline as well, partially acting on my instruction to NOT cut off services today, I'm surprised I still know my own name. Thank God it's an easy one to remember, like Arabella Horsington-Winterbottom.

    Its excellent. I am prefering it to the second series of the Killing.

    Almost finished Dexter (superb)

    What to look at next


    Boardwalk Empire
    Breaking Bad
    Californication


    Anyone seen any of the above or recommend something top class?

    Breaking Bad is awesome. Excellent premise, fantastic performances and just really original. Setting it in New Mexico was a masterstroke. Looks a gorgeous place. Not seen the other two but will eventually check out Boardwalk Empire.

    Justified is just starting it's third season. The first I was very impressed with, the second I start at the weekend. It stars Timothy Olyphant as a US Marshall who does things his own way (I know, sounds awful) but it works really well and Walt Goggins is in it so it is a must see.

    I saw the first Breaking Bad shows and enjoyed it a bunch, and yes, the setting is absolutely gorgeous-looking - something different for us over here.

    I'll have to buy another DVD player now - I gave the previous one away after never using it, but from March I'm out of a cable area and I'm not sure if I'll get Sky or not.

    But, in case I do Sky, has anyone got any recommendations about the best package to sign for? I won't need b/b as the laptop's being treated to a Dongle, and I won't need a landline as I'll use Skype and a mobi. Just want a decent tv package if I can get it installed.

    Top Gear started another run last night and although it's taken a lot of stick recently and it's far too scripted nowadays when you just put them in three cars and tell them to drive around a bit, comparing them, it still actually works.

    I'm finding the subtitles difficult to read on Borgen. Not sure if it's because I've claimed the sofa on Saturday nights so I'm further away from the telly than I was for the Killing or Spiral.

    Spiral, The Killing, Borgen and the original Swedish series of Wallander all put UK television drama to shame

    Anyone who missed Rubicon, a nice twisty little thriller set in the American Intelligence world, can catch re-runs starting tonight at 11.20 pm on Beeb Two. This is unsplashy, pared-down stuff with - like the Scandi offerings IS has mentioned - a restrained, almost washed-out, colour palette. CSI Miami it ain't! I enjoyed it very much for its lack of overheated 'action'.

    I saw the first part of the John Adams mini-series on Sky the other night. Admittedly I'm a sucker for this sort of thing, and it will probably be too slow for some, but I thought it looked pretty promising.

    This is brilliant - stick with it. Originally shown on BBC2 I think but it clashed with something and I didn't get to see all of it unfortunately.

    Have just escaped from the nephews and nieces, for whom I (very mistakenly) bought Puss N Boots (the fairytale, not a pervy version). DIRE. Absolutely bloody awful. That's one for the charity shop.
