Based on how long after each episode of Series 1 premiered in the States (on Acorn tv), seeing the airdates put up recently on EpGuides, Channel Five should start the premiere UK TV airing in late April. Each of the three two-part adaptations will premiere on Acorn tv in the States on Monday 24th April, Monday 1st May and Monday 8th May respectively.

I think the first series of Dalgliesh was released on DVD in the UK by Acorn Media. It had a German DVD release, but I don't know by which boutique label. Acorn Media did release one or two series on Blu-ray in the UK, but that seems a long time ago. I'm sure Acorn have had some involvement in the production of Dalgliesh. Just wish someone else who would release the series on Blu-ray had the physical media rights in the UK, as when I saw Series 1 on Channel Five HD, it looked very good indeed.

Channel 5 on Sunday evening showed a 90minute programme with Dan Snow detailing the history of the rediscovery of Pompeii from the initial well discovery at Herculaneum to modern day (including an interesting segment on the Allied bombs which landed there in 1943).

During the advert breaks for the show there was a trailer for series 2 of Dalgleish which was trailed as "coming soon". Although there was no date shown, this trailer was shown more than once during the programme, which in itself suggested to me that the date might not be far off.

The first series was excellent, so I am looking forward to this greatly.
