New Series featuring Pipe Smoking!

[kalvort]

ITV's Maigret starring Rowan Atkinson! Lots of pipe smoking and I'm only about 30 minutes in. It is based on the novel by Georges Simenon. Enjoy guys!

The uploader has not made this video available in your country.

I wish we got to check out ITV stuff in the US. Thanks for the heads up though. I'll look into this further at a later date.

I bet it's available for download. Worth checking out on Itunes or something. I may try that myself.

Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service to create a tunnel to Great Britain - I viewed the trailer on my iPad using Tunnel Bear VPN, a simple, intuitive, unobtrusive, & reliable VPN service which has both free & paid services, depending on your data needs. (I will not use public WiFi without activating the VPN).

I've watched Rowan Atkinson try his hand at becoming Maigret. He's quite convincing, both as a French police inspector and as a pipesmoker, but Bruno Cremer still rules.

Tough for me to see that face without my brain matching it to Mr Bean

:rofl: I feel the same way, but I'm curious to see him in a more serious role.

what VPN do you recommend?

 

[tuold]

I used the Tunnel Bear VPN browser plugin per cossackjack's recommendation with success. The free service has a pretty low bandwidth limit though. It's 400MB.

Just installed it and it was set at 500 MB for streaming. I am trying out "4K Video Downloader" in conjunction with it, which will eat up half my allowance.
Thanks, Jack and Tuold! Always wondered when I'd find a VPN a necessity.....

 

[jpmcwjr]

Well, the downloader "failed to mux" so I guess that's out. Does the VPN's limit on streaming toll on domestic use, or only that from abroad?

 

[cossackjack]

@jpmcwjr: the Tunnel Bear free service is limited to 500 MB/month domestically & internationally.

We went with the Grizzly plan at ~$50/year, unlimited streaming, as it is more cost effective for our family & is used extensively when away from our secure home network.

A load of grown men yet again getting all gooey eyed over a bloke smoking a pipe on TV :rofl:

That's not any bloke, that's Blackadder!! Fortunately for me, I've not watched the Bean series and so have no biding notion on him in that.
I think he'd make an even better Clouseau!
