o/t Zen on BBC1

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Series just finished but if it is repeated then I'd recommend giving it a go. Rufus Sewell in Rome-based detective series. Interesting characters, lovely photography and some (no, make that dozens of) stunning women.

Caterina Murino

Valentina Cervi

Katarine de Candole

Nathalie Rapti Gomez

Nausicaa Benedettini

Those are in episodes 1 and 2. Episode three data not online yet. And almost every woman in the background is a long-legged, tight skirted, tall Italian bombshell. Good knows who did the casting, but hats off.

Sarah Jane Potts (ep3)

Zoe Tapper

Obviously it's not all like this - it is a detective series!

I quite enjoyed it, everything looks very pretty but it's a little predictable and only Rufus Sewell can act in the whole cast

Blimey, that's a damning thing to say, I think RS is a bit one-dimensional. I think Ben Miles is the best thing in it (I've seen him several times and he's always very good -he was Bolingbroke to Kevin Spacey's Richard and more then held his own) but I agree that there are some stunning women who can't act.

The interesting thing about the Zen series is that they're all set in Rome while the books are set in different places - a couple in Venice where Zen is from, Perugia, Bologna,Sardinia etc They obviously got a good rate to set them in the city.

great little series and very Italian although the chiefs scouse accent was a little off putting
hope there is more
