Jealousy's a curse, you know (And acting is not a "jolly" for anyone.)
Not being an actor, I am not the least bit jealous - why should I be? I am sure they are not back on a plane home the moment the director calls "cut", either!
Loved this week's, never guessed it was the professor..
That was the worst part; academic about to be upstaged by a junior researcher is rather cliched, especially as the same device was used in the finale of Lewis just a week earlier.
When they filmed the end of series 2, presumably they had no idea whether there'd be a series 3 or not, so in some ways it wouldn''t surprise me if he does go back and then returns.
I have noticed in the last few episodes-especially last week's-that there has been more and more of an emphasis on how Richard really didn't fit in back in London. It might have been Doug Anderson (Neil Pearson's character) who originally turned Richard's colleagues against him, but I'm sure Richard said something about the situation not changing after DA left.
Maybe in contrast to the ending of the first series, where the Commissioner tricked him in to staying, at the end of the second series, Richard will voluntarily decide to stay, because in spite of his idiosyncracies he fits in better there. No idea if that's at all likely-all speculation on my part-but I suppose that in spite of the lack of a decent cup of tea and way too much sunshine, it could happen.:)
I'm not saying the series is formulaic, (although it is!) but you could almost write the last scene yourself:
Richard is told that he is going back to London. He leaves in a taxi and gazes forlornly at the scenery and the beautiful flowers on the way to the airport/boat.
Next scene is Camille sitting at her mothers bar looking glum, when a shadow falls across her. She looks up and there is Richard grinning at her. Oh, what a surprise. He hasn't left after all!

Yes I suppose the ending could have been cliched, but it didn't alter the fact that I never guessed it was the Prof.! Obviously this was being filmed at roughly the same time as Lewis, so unless the writer of DIP went and spied on the set of Lewis, I think it is fair to say it was a coincidence.:D
Or a bit like dessert: they have their starter, their main course, and then...dessert. How predictable!
Maybe we like predictable, look it is a good old fashioned feel good show, it does what it says on the tin, if you don't like it then you can watch "the railway" about overcrowded trains, or "secrets of the pickpockets", or there is always "CSI" on channel 5, for real authentic crime:rolleyes:
Watched the first season on and off but for the life of me can only remember a couple of episodes - but with a birthday coming up, I see the boxset making my DVD wish list
But don't forget the episodes are the wrong way around, I think the last one was supposed to be the 1st of the new series so the one shown then with the blind date at the end and his looking back and Camille looking disappointed, should have been last Tuesdays.
When the two of them were sheltering from the storm and talking was I the only one who had the feeling that Camille would have been receptive if Richard had leaned over and kissed her?
Not always that good at reading body language but it seemed that way.
I honestly thought it would have been the other way round and that she was going to make her move... I snorted out loud when she sleep-talked "Don't tell anyone" when Fidel and Dwayne found them!

What's the rolleyes for and the patronisng lecture? Are you a bit simple and you can't see I was making the same point you were (belatedly)? Or are you so eager to sneer at people via multiple quotes you don't even pause to check that they're saying anything that, if you could grasp the irony, you might agree with?

Me too, I think they could be a little suspicious :D

I wasn't being patronising, and no I'm not simple either, we dont come on this thread to sneer, we come on to talk about a programme we enjoy, we don't need any nastiness, if you have a comment to make then make it, dont bother with the irony and you won't be misunderstood:)
My first comment re: Lewis was in reply to a post talking about a previous post of mine, so I had every right to reply to it.

I wouldnt say no to a part in it!!!
I think I preferred her in a bikini, series 1, episode 1.
I think the next (3rd) series will be the last.
A quit whilst you're ahead kind of thing.
Great entertainment for a cold British winter evening.
NOT implausible about being her father? At 11?
Not implausable that they would be interested in a relationship/getting married etc
not that he's old enough to be her father... although that depends on what bit of the country your from I suppose!
Ah, I see!:D
This is a massive improvement on the 10 months we had to wait for series 1! I wonder what's changed?

Good spot.

Interesting - I wonder why the switch?
The BBC site for the series has the farewell scene as it's preview...

The Commissioner and Camille's mum add something to the show as well
