So here we go with the 'World Darts' final on 'BBC2', which is won again by 'Martin Adams'. Then I decide to watch 'Zen' on 'BBC1'. I missed last weeks, but decided to give it a chance. It is based on a famous character from a series of 'Italian' novels, so although spoken in 'English' is actually set in 'Rome'. I suppose 'Wallander' is similar but of course is 'Swedish'. At first I thought the site of all the 'Italian' characters uttering in glorious 'English' would put me off, but you get used to it quickly. The title sequence and incedental music are excellent, and are almost a throwback to old action series of the past. 'Zen' is a cool character who enjoys 'Espresso' and 'fags'. The plot about a secret society, echoes 'Da Vinci Code' but in a less fantastic and more low key way. Not the greatest 'detective' series ever, but because of the nice locations in 'Rome', and some good characters. It is better than many others.
