    Can anyone tell me what the music is that the birdwatcher is listening to in 'The Fifth Woman' episode 1 around 15 mins in?

    The ratings for episodes 1 and 2 of The Fifth Woman are higher than they were for their first screening last year. In August last year they had 410,000 and 377,000 respectively. T his time around 575,000 and 476,000. This time they were not up against the final Saturday of the Olympics though.

    Firewall Parts 1 & 2 on next Saturday and the one after that. This two-parter is the penultimate Rolf Lassgard Wallander film. The final one being The Pyramid. I think it's safe to assume that the BBC will be showing this as well.

    Is this the first showing of this one on the BBC?

    Nope. Sorry gomezz.

    Firewall is a re-repeat. First shown Dec 2010 and repeated Nov 2011.

    While checking the broadcast info it seems the BBC didn't show the final films in the correct order first time around. So we may get Firewall, One Step Behind and then Pyramid re-repeated. I haven't been keeping check of these re-repeats.

    Pyramid is being repeated on Sat 3rd August. This is the final Rolf Wallander film. Don't have any info on what BBC4 will be showing on the Saturday after.

    Hope we get some new stuff. Salamander perhaps. Or Young Montie. Bridge S2 maybe.

    BBC4 HD is supposed to launch early 2014(along with BBC3 HD). Exciting for some of us. Boring news for others who don't care for HD.

    It seems ages since I've watched anything subbed on BBC4 now as I haven't been watching the Wallander repeats! This must be the longest gap since I started watching subbed stuff on there - that was TK1 for me.

    Hiya RP. Hope you are tanned and well:)

    I think Spiral was the first subbed stuff I watched on BBC4. But back then they didn't have a regular Sat night sub slot. Like you say that started with TK1? I dropped Arne Dahl after 4 or 5 eps, so it's been an even longer break for me!

    The Returned ends on 4 this weekend so I'm hoping BBC4 starts showing new stuff soon. There's new Krister Wallanders as well as Borgen 3 to show.

    They could be showing Inspector Da Luca next. That's an Italian detective drama set during WWII

    Yep. Forgotten about that one, V:)

    Here's the list of upcoming TV series and Films from the BBC Media site(dated March this year)
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2013/bbc-four-acquisitions.html

    They announced Salamander as well in May
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2013/salamander.html

    No transmission dates that I can find.
    Any more recent announcements?

    That article mentions an Australian drama called The Slap. One of the main actors in that, Essie Davis is now the lead in an Australian crime drama called Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries which is shown over her on Alibi

    That channel has announced a start date for Season 2

    http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2013/07/alibi-sets-uk-premiere-date-for-miss-fishers-murder-mysteries-season-2/

    Speaking of Inspector de Luca I found a trailer/preview of it

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n45ydK0YqUk

    The books on which the De Luca series is based run from 1938-48 so if it runs for long enough it could become like an Italian version of Foyle's War

    De Luca aired in 2008. So does that mean it's a one off?

    RadioTimes has Sebastian Bergman Part 1(another repeated Rolfie drama) showing on Sat 10th August.

    Rolf in full bird pulling mode. Not his finest hour perhaps?

    The very first Wallander starring Rolf Lassgard and never shown on UK tv will be on BBC Four this Christmas and New Year.
    Filmed 20 years ago the first two episodes will air Boxing Day and the final two New Years Day.

    I didn't have a clue this was on, so thanks for letting us know! I've wanted to see this for ages :)

    Has the Lassgård version of Dogs of Riga been shown on BBC4 before??

    I've been told on Twitter that BBC4 will be showing it on Jan 3rd

    Well, anyone nostalgic for Pirate VHS picture quality will be loving this!!

    ....and half-naked in the first five minutes! Good to have you back Rolf! :D

    Rolf visually answering the unasked question, "What would an Old English Sheepdog look like if it could walk upright and wear a coat?"

    Not so much a police procedural but more like watching a drunken sex pest stumble about town! :D

    Frederic Täckström who played Sverdberg appeared in two episodes of Krister Wallander.

    Rune Bergman who played the old sailor who told Kurt about the knot in episode 1 also appeared in an episode of Krister Wallander and funnily enough played the murder victim Johannes Lovgren in the Kenny B version of Faceless Killers
