The first series featured a young Montalbano played by an actor who was bow-legged. Now that he's an older man and played by a different actor, did the producers only audition bandy men or would that be considered "leg-ist"?
Either way does it matter? -they were both very well acted - I loved both the young (with the emergence of all the series regular characters) and the old. Didnt seem to matter that "the beginning" was filmed in the middle, as it seemed to explain a lot (IMHO)
I love the series both young and older Montalbano. I really look forward to when they bring out the new episodes , although with the last four that have just been shown they chucked in a couple of old episodes, naughty !
