We had Svartman in the last series, we'll have Jan Meyer in this one.
If it goes to a fourth series what are the chances of having someone from Borgen, Those Who Kill, The Bridge or even at a stretch Naeturvaktin in an episode??

These are the three stories in Season 3
An Event in Autumn The Dogs of Riga Before the Frost Dogs of Riga was first filmed with Rolf Lassgard playing our hero. Before the Frost was the first Henriksson Wallander film(And featured his daughter, Linda. Played by Johanna Sällström ![]() )

I have only seen one or two of the Kenny ones and I thought they were good, certainly a better standard of drama than some stuff we've produced over the last few years. I think I'll give these a go. I'll keep a look out for bananaman
![]() ILW ; congrats on the 3,000

like you I have only seen a couple of the dear Kenny ones, but unlike you I didn't like them. Branagh's acting is so slow I just couldn't get into it. I'll give this a try though.
ILW ; congrats on the 3,000 ![]() I didn't even notice Thanks david I really must get out more![]() ![]() I didn't really notice Kenny's slow acting to be honest. The ones I saw seemed well made to me, but I did only see a couple. One of them was Sidetracked, I thought that was well acted and filmed

Indeed.
Stefan Lindeman will be played by Mark Hadfield. http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/?lid=21092 I remember his Crown Court (he was the defendant, can't remember the verdict though) |

I've rather enjoy Ken's Wallander - admittedly its the only Wallander I've seen
- so this is good news

Saw him playing a spiv in an old episode of Foyle's War at the weekend.
I remember his Crown Court (he was the defendant, can't remember the verdict though) And who will play Pontus and Isabelle(That will be Season 10?), I wonder. James Corden & Ruth Jones perhaps ![]()

Does anyone know if tom hiddlestone will be in this series? I'm guessing not as he's moving onto films more now.

I can't place him in anything mentioned on IMDB. Don't recognise his picture either. It will be strange watching Linda and Stefan on screen again.

James Corden & Ruth Jones perhaps ![]() ![]() http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Midwinter%27s_Tale I could be wrong but I think Pontus and Isabelle were "original" characters created for the Krister Wallander. I say original but of course they were tenth-rate copies of Stefan and Linda. As Kenny's Wallander is following the example of Rolf's version and dramatising the original novels then P&I won't appear Quote:

Mankell has been involved in this new season. Peter Harness has consulted with Mankell about the new scripts. An Event in Autumn is based on the short story Händelse om hösten (The Grave). Neither Krister or Rolf have done a version of this I think? |

I have so twied to watch the Brannagh Wallanders...................
and I have so failed....... ![]() I'm sure he's a very nice chap and all that but I find him the proud possessor of anti charisma in acute abundance. Strange thing to get a knighthood for....... Arise Sir Kenneth of Anti Charisma................... ![]()

I have the same problem with Laurence Olivier....it always seemed to be that he always played himself playing someone else, if that makes sense. Paul Scofield on the other hand...... |

(Sir) Ken just turns all my faculties off..I watched his version of Firewall and just couldn't be arsed with it at all at all..kept having to rewind to try and follow it to no avail, whereas I really enjoyed the Swedish version. |

Whilst I think that Branagh's Wallander is the least impressive of the three versions, I'm still glad he got a knighthood. I liked him in the 80s version of Henry V, the full-length Hamlet, and various other Shakespeare adaptations.

I prefer Branagh to the only other Wallander I saw (Sebastian Bergstrom I think).
Wallander is the only production that I've seen when I've liked Branagh! I thought he was perfect for it; more impenetrable than the other one. |
