Danish television has taken the world by storm, making characters like Sarah Lund and Birgitte Nyborg popular well beyond our small borders. Now a team of researchers will try to get to the bottom of the success.
As a Briton who, with my family, adores Danish TV and have watched numerous Danish programmes – Matador, Kroniken, Forbrydelsen, Herrens Veje, Borgen, Norskov, 1864, The Legacy and so many others! I can tell you why Danish TV is so cool, no need to spend so much time and money – simply, your programmes are exciting, informative, emotional, extremely well written, and wonderfully acted! For many of us here in Britain, they remaind us of the kind of TV we used to make in the 1970s, and so Danish TV has become a real mecca of great entertainment for us! I’m SO glad the Borgen is coming back again! Danish TV inspired my family and I to take a holiday in Denmark in 2016, and we are saving up to come back again as soon as possible! we would love to love in Denmark, it’s such a friendly, beautiful place. We come from Yorkshire, so maybe we have a tiny bit of Viking heritage!! Just one question – would it be possible to have English subtitles put on DVDs of Taxa? we would LOVE to see that show! It’s got so many of our favourite actors in it!!
