Resolutions

This time last year, I resolved to watch and write up a Rex episode a day. Ha. It all started rather well but then I started to write more detailed writeups and it took up more of my time.

Add to this life getting in the way (PhD deadlines, who needs them?) and I have lapsed a little. I now want to revisit some of those earlier writeups.

I have also been diverted by the newly released series 10 of Rex (thanks, Santa) and haven't wanted to post out of order. I have to say I really enjoyed series 10.It's good to see that the series lives up to the Recycled Rex reputation with Fabri's mother, played by Gertraud Jesserer, appearing in the murderering wife of a gynaecologist, Frau Fuchs, in Die Tote von Schoenbrunn, and an extremely nasty inmate, Sylvia Manz, in the as yet to be added Mord im Gefaengnis (2004). I wonder if Fabri knows about his mother's shady past?

I don't want to ruin the surprise for anyone who hasn't seen the final episode but it's good to know that old faces and locations make a welcome return. I hope the plans for new series are underway.

It's good to see that Series 10 also lives up to the Recycled Rex name, with former

Planning to return with regular episode postings in February when I have a little more time.

Rex Resolution 4: Die Tote von Schoenbrunn

Again, no You Tube video for this episode from 1994 but, as it's based around Schoenbrunn and I still struggle with hot Christmases, how about this snippet of a snow covered Schoenbrunn park?

You know the old saying about make sure you have clean underwear on when you go out, just in case? Well, this episode should serve as a warning to make sure you have more than just your underwear on when parading around Schoenbrunn in your fur coat. Nothing good can possibly come of it.


Of course, if it were otherwise, we wouldn't have Episode 4: The body at Schoenbrunn.


Evidence from an elderly lady leads Moser to suspect a keeper from the zoo but, without blowing too much of the plot, it wasn't him who was the animal!


Also, much amusement all around at the unfortunately named, philandering gynaecologist, Dr. Fuchs.




Other players in this episode include Karlheinz Hackl

Also, not listed with IMDB, Hans Poeschl and, not listed for this episode, Hans Pemmer.




More Recyclers with Hilde Sochor, not credited with IMDB for this episode but listed for Stockis Last Case (1996), and Gertraud Jesserer, Frau Fuchs in this episode and as nasty inmate Sylvia Manz in Mord Im Gafaengnis (2004). Good job there's a change in Kommissar, otherwise the plot would be over before it even started!
