Van Der Valk isn't technically a Dutch TV show it just happens to be shot in Amsterdam. There was a Dutch crime drama that was on Netflix that I liked but I can't remember the name. If I remember it I will do a Netherlands list.

Thanks. Scotland is a nice one. I wish the UK term was not so ubiquitous when looking up location; wish seeing England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland was more common. It often feels like there is this kind of homogenisation of the world and at other times identity and differences seem more pronounced than ever. If I do Wales, I will try to resist mentioning Free Willy.

^ I was thinking Tiger Bay for Wales. Hard to think of many other films from Wales. For TV show there were 2 famous shows that were shot in Barry Island (not actually an island but it used to be famous for having a funfair with a big dipper, the Welsh version of Blackpool perhaps). One is Gavin and Stacey but someone else can have that as I have something much better!

One of the greats for sure. Wales actually has a proud history of great actors. Some of the more well known ones below, think this is what is called 'punching above your weight' (btw I would have liked to include some females but Catherine Zeta Jones is all I could come up with and I wouldn't put her in this company) Richard Burton Iwan Rheon (Game Of Thrones) Rhys Ifans Ioan Gruffud Michael Sheen Luke Evans Christian Bale (born in Wales to English parents) Jonathan Pryce Gareth Thomas (Blake's Seven!) Taron Egerton Ray Milland (that one was a surprise when I googled it!) |

^ Yes, great names. Jonathan Pryce actually was the first name to come to mind after seeing Will's "Maybe Anthony Perkins?" post. A Hopkins association there due The Two Popes especially. The New Zelander Sam was an Australian association for me. Brazil, with Pryce, is an all-time favourite movie for me. As for Gareth Thomas, how good he was as Blake. I'm a huge fan of Blake's Seven. And I was so very sad when I heard he died. It's a show I can return to at any episode again and again. Well the ending I still find devastating. I also liked Children of the Stones an awful lot (with Gareth Thomas). And Michael Sheen, love him in Good Omens as the angel Aziraphale.
