Quite enjoyed it but I wish I could like Anna Maxwell Martin better.<br />When you see film today of Bletchley women still alive, you don't get the impression they led repressed lives after the war.callmemadamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359300308013419608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-41291859390246976252012-09-06T23:23:22.347+01:002012-09-06T23:23:22.347+01:00Maybe I came down on it rather hard, Margaret - I...Maybe I came down on it rather hard, Margaret - I loved all the clothes etc - but I could have done without the sex crimes.

Definitely your sort of thing. <br /><br />maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-1164906131345592152012-09-01T16:32:50.107+01:002012-09-01T16:32:50.107+01:00Just jumped over to youtube for a peek...all 20 se...Just jumped over to youtube for a peek...all 20 seconds of it. It doesn't give away much but I do love the clothes. The lining in my 1950s cashmere coat has had the biscuit so I've been in a state of mourning for the past few days. Not to worry though, I am determined to attempt putting in a new one at some point.<br /><br />Thanks for keeping me up to date with shows to look out for, Mary, I also look forward to the knitting porn!Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415316482631852565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-24966742984427086522012-09-01T16:32:19.610+01:002012-09-01T16:32:19.610+01:00Oh what a disappointment.

It's a good cast (Anna Maxwell-Martin) and I'd have thought clever women going back to their ordinary lives should have been quite enough without tagging on a serial killer. <br />I'll carry on watching for the period detail but I was disappointed with it. maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-67940518783221183292012-09-01T12:19:50.802+01:002012-09-01T12:19:50.802+01:00Oh, what a disappointing review.

They were remarkable women and I think it sad that they have been portrayed as less than that. I shan't watch it in that case...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
