For addicts of The Bridge: Sofia Helin, who plays Saga Norén, in discussion with Mariella Frostrop. Why does the character appeal to audiences everywhere and is she really modelled on a small goat?

What was the inspiration behind the Malmo detective, how did she get inside the skin of such a complex character, and where can we buy her long flowing coat?

For one night only, Sofia Helin will discuss the view from The Bridge with Mariella Frostrop.
