*I* don't know who the person who won "Celeb" was either. Dreadful programme. Wallander is excellent however, and looks stunning. Shot in Sweden but with British actors (those with long memories might remember crime dramas such as Maigret or Van der Valk which worked in a similar way). And for tecchies, this was the first BBC programme to be shot with the RED camera in 4k. The director of photography is the guy who just made Slumdog Millionaires (which is out in "select cities" I believe - it's not opened here yet), and this thing just looks stunning. I don't have HD but even in SD it's like nothing else. Adam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
