Series 8 is presently showing, I've watched them all. I'm up to episode 4 of this latest series on i>Player. One scene amused me. I saw a sad looking Laure the female detective wandering the streets of Paris at night with the same look on her face, when her lover and former partner just released from prison fails to turn up to meet her as promised. I was immediately reminded of this and wondered if the director remembered it too. Here Jeanne Moreau wanders the streets of Paris at night when her lover fails to turn up. I guess using the Miles Davis theme music would have been a bit to much, so they used something else. It's one of my favourite film noir movies. You occasionally get "references" in TV dramas. In an episode of Endeavour where there was a murder at a cinema, they interviewed an attractive blonde usherette, whose name we were told was Betty Perske. That was before the studio changed it, Lauren Bacall's.
