This may be a bit premature, but ITV is trailing a new series of Van der Valk, due to start at the end of the month. Originally based on Nicolas Freeling's Ansterdam-set novels, there were two separate runs before in the 70s and 80s (re-run on one of the archive channels not so long ago). The new one stars Marc Warren, who usually plays rather nervy and often villainous characters, so that should be interesting. I hope they do justice (as the previous adapters didn't) to Van der Valk's wife, who's much more striking in the books.
