Re: [Mind's Eye] Re: Xmas television

Gave both series of The Killing on DVD to my daughter for Christmas. Well worth watching. I spent Christmas Day - as always - with my daughters and grandson; in the end, the most important thing about Christmas is being with and loving your family and those you love. We finished a very late evening with the girls drinking Baileys (and me tea), watching Monty Python's take on the Christmas story - the Life of Brian ... :-)

on C4 and BBC4 for European series and films.  We've just had 'The
Killing' from Danish TV which was superb.  The idea of self-
compilation is good and the market is way behind.
