It’s grim up north in the bonenumbin­g cold of Iceland. But fans of this hit Scandi-noir patiently waited three years for Series 2 to arrive on BBC Four. It looks cold enough to make you shiver, but hirsute cop Andri Olafsson (Olafur Darri Olafsson - pictured) can stand it, he’s a big bear of a man. In the first series Andri ended up as acting chief of police when he got stranded at a forsaken snowed-in town while investigat­ing a murder. But he’s called back to Reykjavik the cloud he had been under has lifted - to investigat­e an attack on a politician which left her badly burned and the would-be killer, her estranged twin brother, dead. So much for brotherly love! It’s a bizarre mystery and the trail of a political conspiracy takes Andri back north and a re-union with Hinrika, who’s now town sheriff. and shambolic detective Asgeir, as the plot thickens. The prime minister is even keeping an unnerving close eye on the investigat­ion, which seems to be linked to the building of a geothermal power plant, a farmers’ protest it will harm their sheep, and a hardright political outfit called Hammer of Thor - but Andri’s just the man to nail them. Buckle up, put your snowshoes on and enjoy the slay ride. Director Baltasar Kormakur made a true story film about which mountain? Entries to Alex Gordon, Trapped competitio­n by April 11.
