All this blogging about murderous Vikings has got to me. I need to be frivolous, even if only for six minutes. And the tricky thing with basing a blog post on a video clip is what happens when it disappears. Not much. But hopefully it will not be until next week.
What is it with you English speakers and the murderous umlaut? There is such a thing as too many.
Besides, this video featuring Barnaby, Wallander, Sarah Lund and Lisbeth Salander should really have the Muppets’ Swedish chef in there as well. He’s the one who actually talks like that.
The rest of us are just very violent and efficient.
That made my evening. I’ve passed it along.
Hmm, my comment is not appearing. I’ll try one more time.
And I am one of the folks to whom she passed it.
I love the closing credits! As someone who has had to introduce Yrsa Sigurðardóttir, Börge Hellström, Anders Roslund, Agnete Friis and Lene Kaaberbøl on convention panels in recent years and who in those same years has interviewed Jo Nesbø, Inger Frimansson, Kjell Eriksson, Håkan Nesser and Helene Tursten, I am entirely in sympathy with those who worry when they see too many diacritical marks and slashed o’s.

Made my morning!!! Though still annoyed by Barnaby!
We know Barnaby is an idiot.
Glad you finally made it on here, Peter. Sometimes my spam filter doesn’t care for links in the comments. And sometimes it doesn’t mind.
Yes, there is so much a person can do with all those dots and slashes and accents and whatnot.
They don’t seem to realise the dog is Finnish, however.
“They don’t seem to realise the dog is Finnish, however.”
Maybe that’s why we don’t ever see it (if I recall correctly). It’s too diffident to show its face.
