Hello, I'm sure I've seen this pop up on here from time to time and I wondered if a DVD set would make a good present for a relative who loved programmes like Inspector Morse and A Touch of Frost, and programmes like like Bergerac back in the day :) Is it that type of programme?
The only problem I can see is that you have to read the sub titles all the time as it's in Italian. Not everyone likes to do this. They are usually murder plots and there's always some bonking!!!!!
He's nothing like Frost or Morse .It's set in Sicily .Think mafia,corruption and bumbling Italian policemen all set in brilliant sunshine . He loves good food and leads a complicated life with his lover.The books are brilliant .The TV series was wonderful .
Thanks all :) Ahh I've googled and there are two! Is The Young Moltabano in Italian in subtitles too? Don't think that would be too much of a problem though. She liked Poirot too though it looks like this one has a bit more sex appeal :)
Young Montalbano is also subtitled. We love these two series, and I have one boxed set, there are a few. If you decide not to go with the DVDs you might think about trying the books by Andrea Camilleri, they are worth a read or perhaps as a talking book?
They're both subtitled - which personally puts me off, as half the time I listen to the televison rather than watching it. It's good, but very different from the British ones you mention.
Perhaps the Norse Morse might appeal if she likes Inspector Morse .
Henning Mankells Wallander series .The ones with Krister Henriksson are brilliant .
Ah yes, Inspector Wexford, had forgotten about him! Yes, she like him too. Good suggestion, thanks Psybbo :)
Thanks Shaney, will definitely look into them. Been lain up with a nasty tummy bug for the last couple of days so panicking a bit as behind in my shopping (not just from me either) so very grateful for the advice and suggestions.
