I Love the Faroe Islands
The series looks at the Faroe Islands and Faroese people from a slightly different, and perhaps a little more humorous, perspective than usual. We meet the nationalist Harald, his wife Pernille, and their daughter Søs, all of whom live in Copenhagen. We also meet the grumpy Sofus, the lonely Niels, the gay Kjartan, the chic Remi and Rosely, the smooth reporters Olgar and Randi, and many, many others. It's expected that most people will recognize themselves in some of these characters who, in one way or another, shape the Faroe Islands of 2008.

- 1. E Elski Førjar 1Everything is as it usually is in Copenhagen. Søs is lying on the sofa, Pernille is serving something delicious to eat because the TV show Matador is on. Everything is as it has always been, and that's why Harald isn't on the sofa. He's dreaming himself away—to the cliffs in the Faroe Islands. Kjartan goes for a walk to the store, where he gets into an argument with the shopkeeper. Olgar has a globalized chat with Jakobina, who has just returned from France. She now feels she can compare herself to the truly great ones: Paul McCartney, David Beckham, Elvis Presley—and not least, the Prime Minister! But you can't quite get Maria to get excited. And, of course, there are also many other good and funny stories on the program.CC32minJan 1, 2008
- 2. E Elski Førjar 2Everything is as it usually is in Copenhagen. It's a beautiful morning, and the family is going to have breakfast. But things don't always go as planned when you try to do it in Danish. Sofus goes to the bank and hears that people are exchanging Faroese banknotes for Danish ones. This awakens his sense of nationalism. We go into the shed to bait the lines, and it's so obvious that Kjartan has met someone with an inner 'dude' who wants to get out and dance. Do you know what it's like to be too "chic"? And, of course, there are also many other good and funny stories on the program.CC30minJan 8, 2008
- 3. E Elski Førjar 3Everything is not as it usually is in Copenhagen. Søs has a male visitor, and Harald is overjoyed to have a man in the house. Maybe he'll join him on a fishing trip one day? The reporter Olgar has an interview with the globalized Faroese man who was the reason Liverpool became champions. Niels goes to the store and has a good chat with the shop girl. Remi and Rosely have big plans to brand the Faroe Islands in the age of globalization. And, of course, there are also many other good and funny stories on the program.CC33minJan 15, 2008
- 4. E Elski Førjar 4Everything is as it usually is in Copenhagen. Aunt Yvonne has a birthday, and a song must be sung. But they don't quite agree on how it should be done. Adidas is mentioned in the context of globalization, because a world record has just been broken. As so often happens when such a thing occurs, there's a Faroese person somewhere involved in the action. Randi asks the big question: Why do Faroese people go to Norway to work? Is it the winds of globalization that are causing it? Sofus? He's gone to the AB football field. And, of course, there are also many other good and funny stories on the program.CC28minJan 22, 2008
- 5. E Elski Førjar 5Everything is as it usually is in Copenhagen. Søs, Pernille, and Harald have put on their best clothes because they are going to Aunt Yvonne's birthday party. And they won't arrive empty-handed, as they are bringing both wine and pilot whale meat for the big day. Niels has gone for a bike ride. He's going to the store to talk to the nice shop girl because it's his birthday today. Will she come to his party? In Gundadalur, there are often many cute guys playing football. In any case, Kjartan has gone down there to score. And, of course, there are also many other good and funny stories on the program.CC26minJan 29, 2008
- 6. E Elski Førjar 6Everything is not as it usually is in Copenhagen. Harald has gone for a walk in the beautiful weather when he meets a Dane who is not at all happy with Denmark. They agree on that, but not much else. The reporter Randi has gone to Copenhagen because globalization has led many Faroese people to choose to study abroad. There, she has a rather different chat with Jógvan, who is completely globalized. Sofus meets an old acquaintance. They muse about the big environmental problems. Kjartan has gone to visit Maria and the little one. Of course, he has a nice gift with him. And, of course, there are also many other good and funny stories on the program.CC33minFeb 5, 2008
