Van der Valk is back again on Talking Pictures TV Great news. For anyone interested in the Nicholas Freeling novels, BBC Radio 4 Extra are to broadcast 30 minute episodes of the book Van der Valk - Love In Amsterdam, read by David Troughton from Wednesday (6.00am with repeats at 1.0pm and 8.0pm). Looks like it's an abridged version in 3 parts though.

Van der Valk is back again on Talking Pictures TV
Tune in on Tuesday 1 March 2022 at 9.05pm to see the first episode...
One Herring's Not Enough (1972)
Stars Barry Foster, Michael Latimer & Susan Travers.
Van der Valk's day gets worse when someone contacts the station to say that he has just killed his wife.
TPTV delivers again. I’ve been watching these repeats for the last few weeks and really enjoying them. They’re very nicely put together, well acted and scripted in the main. And as has been said, many of the episodes are akin to Sweeney episodes set in Amsterdam. Even Jack and George would be impressed with the amount of smoking, drinking and undercurrent of sex. I first went to Amsterdam in 1975 so the right era for VDV and plenty of super motors of the era, including the obligatory DAFs. The episode I’m watching now is ‘Everybody does it’ which is S3E6 10/10/77 and the three door MkIV Cortina looks very European. Three door versions of motors, including Golfs and Cortinas in particular always seemed much more popular in mainland UK than Blighty.
