Yes, with the number of murders there they'd soon run out of cast
members before long..    B)

MP>IIRC, it was a French-British colab.

Yes, which makes sense since a lot of those places are British/French.
I think they speak a bit of French in that show now and then.
I get to see how much of my highschool French I still remember.

Actually what's more fun is when you translate the French and
realise the wording was totaly different than the sub-titles
said it was..  No subtitles in that show though..

MP>I preferred the original "inspector," played by the same actor who
  >now plays British Professor T.

Geez.. I've been watching that plus some of the old Paradise
shows in repeat and it didn't even click that it was the
same character.. Enough personality shift to hide the fact
if you don't pay attention to the actor names.

MP>The PBS network here only showed the seasons up to the first one

I've seen pretty much all of them now, through 3 or 4 'inspectors'
and watching the pretty 'dark' assistant girls come and go..  B)

Ha.. That's probably not a totally P.C. way to refer to that
but it reminded me of something that happened to me today.

I was in a pharmacy I don't often use and I commented to the
pharmacist there, who was probably from India or close by, what
pharmacy I usually go to, and he informed me that it had changed
hands and it was now run by <<shudder>> Egyptians!, like that
was a serious warning..  Apparently you don't have to be white
to be prejudiced..
