"Catarella, if you come in like that again...I'll shoot you" (IM said that last week too didn't he?). Then later on Catarella bursts in again: "It flew out of my hands".
![]() What was Terry Pratchett doing in it? ![]() Livia annoys me - is she going to wait for IM forever? She got very attached to that child too didn't she! I think the plots could be wrapped up a bit more quickly - they seem to like chatting quite a lot. As KennyT says, it was better this week though - I preferred the storyline anyway. |

Despite my reservations I found it not as bad as expected last week, so I decided to watch it again this week. But I can only assume that something got lost in the editing because we were not told why

There were other loose ends though - for example, why was the bathrobe discarded by the victim but not removed by the murderer along with all the other clothes? K |

I really enjoyed this one , far better than last week's. I'm even warming to the comic policeman who passed the IT course.
At some stage IM will have to get back with Flavia, but why does she live so far away. |

Not sure why we're using spoilers but I'll carry on...
I guess that's not resolved then. Nor how Fazio knew what had happened. There remains the burning question though: why did the chicken cross the road? ![]() If the Italian have the same riddle, that was a good visual gag. |

Well, I started it because I thought it was a normal courtesy to those who haven't seen it yet.

![]() ![]() Usually they have a disclaimer at the end of programmes like this: "No chickens were harmed in the making of this programme".

I too watched "The Snack Thief" and thoroughly enjoyed it although, towards the end, I thought it was beginning to sound rather Agatha Chrisie-ish i.e. who did what to whom and why. As somebody else here mentioned earlier I too noticed the sub-titling gaps whilst they were jabbaering away at 300 mph, sorry, I'll re-phrase that - 230 kph.
One thing did puzzle me though: Montalbano spoke in Italian (of course!) whilst Livia spoke in English throughout. I am profoundly Deaf so rely 100% on sub-titles in ALL programmes - those without, unless they're very visual, I don't watch. Now, what I'd like to know is, was Livia's dialogue dubbed into Italian? As I am rather good at lipreading, I watched her lips and noticed her English dialogue. Can anybody here clarify this for me? Thanks Yes it was. I could see that what she was saying didn't match the italian I could hear, but I also couldn't be sure it matched the subtitles. seemed it did. Was Montalbano speaking to her in Italian, and she was replying in English? I don't know their history, so don't know where the little boy comes into it. I missed last weeks, so don't know if it was covered off there. I also can't tell if this is set before or after the two episodes that BBC have shown repeatedly over the last few years. For the record, I like it. I love the characters, and that's enough for me to buy into it. |

It must make it very difficult for them to work out when to say their lines! |

But on the bright side:they can get Catarella to type in the insurance claim on his pc now.

I enjoyed this ep more than the first - though it does feel like I'm watching Ross Kemp talking Italian for an hour and three quarters.
![]() It's light hearted stuff and completely bonkers. What idiot thinks it makes more sense to murder your lover just to take her violin - instead of staging a minor burglary and stealing it?

IM's phone call in the car - where he tells the Judge they've already been there and seen the body and asks for a full forensics team & coroner.
I've still got to catch up on the last hour or so of this sometime. |

I thought that the point of getting the old woman to make an anonymous phone call, was to hide the fact that he had already discovered the body, when he broke in.
Not that his fellow detectives seem a particularly bright lot so it still might have escaped one or three of them

If your finding inspector montalbano a little disappointing since the killing & borgen then if you havent seen romanzo criminale then i would highly recommend this, its currently being repeated on sky arts, think sopranos but better & more realistic, & makes inspector montalbano look like tom&jerry, iv just purchased series 2 from amazon £29 with english subtitles unfortunately series 1 dvd has no english subtitles which is very strange
but if you know were to look series 1 can be found on the internet i just had to translate the subtitles myself i also had to do this with braquo series 2 as i just couldnt wait for it to be aired on british tvlove the killing, borgen&series 2, the bridge, unit one, the eagle, wallander, varg vuem, spiral & now loving the riveting romanzo criminale superior quality television |
