News on “Call Me Dad” (via Vi Elsker Serier — translated):

The attentive reader will know that already last year we had the comedy series Call Me Dad on the list of series we were looking forward to.

Unfortunately, we have not yet seen the series, but we still allow ourselves to hope that it will see the light of day on Viaplay during 2024 (and the same can be said about the other Danish Viaplay series, Bullshit, which we are also waiting for!).

Call Me Dad was created by the actors Alex Høgh Andersen and Magnus Haugaard, who also play the series' two main roles themselves. The series is about a friendship — a really good one where you have known each other all your life — but with the twist that one friend becomes the romantic partner of the other friend's mother. And what do you do then?

For the conflict-shy Emil (Alex Høgh Andersen), it becomes more than a hypothetical question when he finds out that his best friend, the confident Viktor (Magnus Haugaard), has started dating his mother, Helle (Ellen Hillingsø). From here, everything is turned upside down, and Emil must learn to navigate the new reality, where friendship, as the boys knew it, is seriously put to the test.

The cast also includes Roberta Hilarius Reichhardt, Johanne Milland and Peter Gantzler.

Call Me Dad has not yet been given a premiere date, but the series should land on Viaplay during 2024.

Another nordic show that is impossible to google (*cough* threesome *cough*) but it's so good. Asta August is such a joy to watch.

It's on Amazon Prime.

It's almost done, just one night and it's Christmas Eve. But that also means that the calendar is coming to an end for us. That's why we're delving into the world of films today in the 23rd door and I have two beauties that we know from the Hornblower movies - HMS Retribution and HMS Hotspur

HMS Hotspur and behind HMS Restribution

Here is more about the two and who is actually behind them:

The Earl of Pembroke was built in 1945 in Pukavik, Sweden, under the name Orion and was used for timber transport in the Baltic Sea until 1974, when she was laid up in Thisted, Denmark. She was transferred to the United Kingdom in 1980, where her complete restoration began in 1985. As part of the restoration, the ship was converted from a schooner to a barque (to resemble the famous HMS Endeavour, on which Captain Cook discovered Australia) and renamed Earl of Pembroke. From then on she served in various films in different rigs, but is best known as HMS Hotspur. Unfortunately, she had no further use in recent years and was completely scrapped in 2022.

The smaller Restribution is actually the Phoenix of Dell Quay, a brigantine. She was built by Hjorne & Jakobsen at Frederikshavn, Denmark in 1929, originally as an Evangelical Mission Schooner. Twenty years later she retired from missionary work and carried cargo until her engine room was damaged by fire. In 1974 she was bought by new owners who converted her into a brigantine before being purchased by Square Sail in 1988. A first aid over-haul enabled her to sail back to the UK where she underwent a complete refit. During 1991 she was converted to the 15th century Caravel Santa Maria for Ridley Scott's film 1492: Conquest of Paradise. She has also worked in: In the Heart of the Sea, Poldark, Taboo, Hornblower and Frontier. At the moment she is for sale.

Now that I know that Man Trisanu’s “white people name” is Christopher every time his character is in trouble I yell “Christopher what are you doing ??!” to my screen.
