Fiona Duff: Great Fortitude required as I try to reclaim sofa
I only saw the first three episodes due to not having Sky and Now TV not working in my flat. I suppose I could have made a bit more effort by going round to watch it at a friends house, but I just couldn’t be bothered going out at 9pm when I had just got all cosy on my own sofa.
Anyway, in the meantime Simon has only gone and written a second series. What’s more he has also cast the lovely Dennis Quaid – needless to say he completely ignored my requests to visit the set during filming.

Simon likes a bit of blood and gore so I imagine that the body count was fairly high. I mean that poor Scottish actor Tam Dean Burn was eaten by a polar bear almost as soon as the credits rolled. Hardly worth him even going to Iceland where they filmed the exterior scenes.
So you can imagine how pleased I was to open a small present on Christmas morning to find a DVD of the programme. Now I just need to wait until the holidays are over, when husband and kids vacate the aforementioned sofa and I can regain the remote control to get my fix of Fortitude.
