A subtitled Danish drama starring a woman who dresses mainly in wellies, cagouls and patterned knitwear doesn't sound like a sure-fire ratings winner. But The Killing, or Forbrydelsen, the latest addition to BBC4's library of classy European crime imports, took the channel by surprise earlier this year when it left viewers gripped – possibly even obsessed – with the exploits of super-cop Sarah Lund.

Staying in on a Saturday night for two hours of dark, rainy shots of Copenhagen had never appeared to be such a brilliant idea. Danish seemed a must-learn language. Expensive, chunky jumpers were fashion essentials.

Now fans will undoubtedly cancel their social lives again for the return of Lund (Sofie Gråbøl) this autumn, as she embarks on a second adventure sure to be dotted liberally with the red herrings that made the first series such brilliant – and at times frustrating – viewing.
Forbrydelsen won a Bafta for best international programme earlier this year
