oh, it's *that* time of year
when I
a) Dr Who. merlin in a few weeks' time. All the quality serious miniseries they're suddenly inflicting on us. (accused, good cop, etc) And *then* the bastards inflicted the Downton Abbey series 3 trailer on us last night. It looks like so much awesome soapy crack.
b) Cabaret? do I want to see Meera Syal in Much Ado? Hedda Gabler just because Sheridan Smith is in it?
c) Unless a massive sea change happens (ie, not enough plot) it looks like it's the Susan gets recruited by Torchwood, Edmund is the intelligence service liaison. Intertwined spy stuff with Susan telling Jack to stop being a drama queen whilst running around Cardiff.

- Cardiff, incl docks, 1950s
- 1950s spy stuff & what was going on. And the places I need. :headdesk: I couldn't have 60s? WAAAAA
- 50s life in general
- loads of details I have *no idea* about yet. I think period nursing education might be one of them since Lucy will probably crop up, if only on the phone.
- And then there's 'how much does character a get a look in, how much Peter, when precisely to see how much of Edmund's military service in Malaya I need to fold in and thus Peter'
