hestia8OH MY GOD, PEOPLE.
1. Lars Mikkelsen needs to be in some more stuff I can watch NOW.
2. Caroline Proust needs to be put in charge of plotting Spooks or something.
3. I would really like to see a British programme written the way Spiral is described as being written.
4. Hot Lady Cop from The Shadow Line is going to be in Luther, YAY.
5. I think Luther might just be a bit amazing.

Then at some point my fiancée, who is now my wife, came home from a jugglers’ course and could juggle three balls after two days and I was sitting reading huge books in my first term. I thought, ‘This is ridiculous I want to do that’. So I was a juggler for five years and toured around Europe on the streets: Munich, Paris, everywhere. Then I got into theatre and then I applied for the drama schools and now I’m here.”

Proust chose Berthaud's look and wardrobe (she was reading Dennis Lehane at the time and was inspired by Angela Gennaro), and likes to place her own props on Berthaud's desk. She dreamed up her own Berthaud backstory which isn't mentioned in the script – that her sister was murdered as a child, which inspired her to join the force. Occasionally she inserts her own lines, such as a racist insult about couscous while interrogating Arab suspects in the second series. "It's good to show it, because it happens in real life," she says.
She would now like Berthaud to fall for a woman, ideally an affair with Josephine Karlsson, the beautiful but scowling lawyer who hates Berthaud's guts. "God knows how it would happen but it could be fun."
Realism is an obsession for Proust. Spiral is co-written by a police officer (under a pseudonym) and officers are on set to advise on everything from how to touch a dead body to how to fight with a superior. Proust consults them on how to move and what tone of voice to take. She trails them on the job and take notes. She cringes: "Actors dream up so many things about cops. In films, you see cops bash down a door and burst in screaming: "POLICE!" It's not aways like that."

The other big relationship from the last series is DS Justin Ripley (Warren Brown)...
"At the end of the last series DS Justin Ripley is demoted to uniform and forgotten as a Custody Sergeant, and I think John felt really guilty about that. So we see him trying to fix that and making an effort to get his partner back in the new unit. I think that John's guilt is eased a little bit when he sees Justin back on the team.
"It shows Luther has a compassionate side, he does have a heart after all, something else we see more of this year. He's tough and filled with a lot of demons, but he has absolutely got a heart. Definitely, and in this series his heartstrings are pulled even more because he's lost a big part of his life.
"Luther has changed, he becomes a team player. In the new series, he's got Schenk as his new boss, so he's playing the game a bit more, but you know, what makes him unique in the force is that he beats his own drum."
