  Sounds like it will be in Dutch.

  Found a trailer here

  Sounds to be mostly Dutch? Not that I'm an expert on languages.

  This'll take the European crime drama 'slot' on BBC4 after Series 2 of The Bridge finishes, as it is listed on Digigude as starting from February 8th.

  If it's in Dutch it will presumably be on a double episode basis......(think about it).

  BBC 4 has acquired the rights to the Belgium bank heist thriller Salamander.
  (Contains plot references)
  http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2013/05/bbc-four-acquires-uk-rights-to-belgian-thriller-salamander/
  
  and same applies here
  http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2013/salamander.html
  
  It's a 12x60m drama. Is this the first drama from Belgium featured on BBC4? No idea what language it will be in. French? Dutch even. I suppose we need a quick cultural lesson from our Belgiumcentric FMs?:D:D
  
  The articles above say it will be shown on Saturday nights. The usual slot for subtitled Euro drama. No transmission dates available yet that I can find. So it may be shown towards the end of the year maybe?

  
  
  Walloon?

  Hi, you! Haven't seen you on the boards for AAAGES! Hope you and Mrs bk are well.
  It will probably be in Flemish if it isn't in French! (sounds a little like Dutch/German)

  Only in the north, and a bit around the capital.

  This is right up my street! I love anything Dutch/Belgian and especially in their native language.
  
  Anyone have any firm dates for when it's to be shown?

  I'll give it a whirl. Over the past few weeks I've emptied my Sky box by watching everything I'd recorded (mainly through boredom), so it only has the series link for The Bridge 2 on it right now. I'll need something else to get into!

  Apparently it's going to be in French and Dutch. I'm sure the 12 episodes will double up every week, so we've got six weeks and then after that I don't know what we're getting in the same slot. I'm really looking forward to this series!

  In Belgium it was originally broadcast on a channel called Eén
  
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E%C3%A9n
  
  It's a Dutch-language channel so I would imagine Salamander will largely be in that language with the odd bit of French here and there

  7.4 rating on IMDb isn't very impressive for a TV Show.

  I tend to ignore IMDB ratings due to the number of idiot who are members
  
  I'll just watch the first 2 episodes and decide whether it is something I want to continue watching afterwards
