Series? More like two TV films

It's doubtful if this should be regarded a series. We're actually talking about two separate feature-length TV films based on two of Simenon's 76 novels and 28 short stories about Maigret; one shown in late March 2016 and the other at some later yet unspecified date, probably Christmas 2016. The only thing they have in common is that Rowan Atkinson plays Maigret in both, that Stewart Harcourt is the screenwriter, and that the production companies are the same. According to the press, Atkinson hasn't agreed to do any more Maigret films and no more seem to be in the pipeline. I think that they, at least for the moment, should be treated as two separate TV films: "Maigret Sets a Trap" and 'Maigret’s Dead Man". Thomas Blomberg (talk) 12:14, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

However, for Midsummer Murders these are series and are two hour - i.e. feature length episodes - the question is all rather moot. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 12:51, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
