....my wife and I spent the weekend in Brussels last week, and got talking to a Norwegian couple in a bar. They said that Norwegians love British crime drama, especially Midsomer Murders, Morse, Frost and the like. Bob

likewise the Brits like Scandinavian crime drama - The Bridge, Borgen, The Killing, Wallander etc.
Personally I love the (Italian) Inspector Montalbano series.

We met some German people who loved Fawlty Towers.... they were amazed at Basil "getting away" with stomping around in the episode when he was concussed & they had German guests......... it wouldn't be allowed on a German program.

We sat in a Namibian game lodge and watched 'One Foot in the Grave'.

That was a waste of an air fare!
