There was a comfort in the return of Spiral/Engrenages on BBC4 last night. It's the eighth and last in the series about Paris detectives, which started some 15 years ago on Canal +.
Our heroine Laure continues to look mournful, to entirely miss the possibility that buildings have more than one way out and it, and to break at least one procedural rule in every episode. Her beau, Gilou, has taken more beatings than a horse-steak over the 15 years, yet still looks only mildly grizzled. Lawyer Josephine (am I alone in expecting her to launch into Catherine Tate's foul-mouth gran at any moment ?) gets in the way.
It finished in France at the end of October. Have the French production team resisted the possibility of happy endings for all ?
