BBC: Odd Couples – have you seen it?

Well, I was watching a program on the BBC “Odd Couples”. Have you seen it? It’s about animals that become “friends” although until now people thought they should not interact at all. I then thought of this video my dad filmed of our family dog…

…My grandma was raising some chicks at home cause it was too cold for them to be outside, and our dog obviously thought they were now part of the family…My grandma then decided to put them outside on a sunny day, and our dog was so worried that she started gathering them to protect them….and the hen was also a star  – quite relaxed and not scared of having this big dog protecting her little ones…. very cute!!!!

 

The bizarre experience of watching the BBC Wallander… also on German telly!

Last week I found myself watching another episode of Wallander – originally a Swedish TV series, that was reproduced by the BBC with British actors. The story is the same as the Swedish original, it is filmed in Sweden, and basically it’s like if it was the original but with British actors speaking English (so for example, if they are reading an email, it shows up written in Swedish, although they read it out-loud in English). Well, its strange and funny, but you grow to love it. However, I have now the added bizarre value of having to watch it dubbed in German…. 🙂
