Who else is watching The Bletchley Circle? Someone I follow on Tumblr (I think it was cobweb_diamond, actually) mentioned this amazing ITV show about, well, here's the Wikipedia description:

"The Bletchley Circle is a 2012 television mystery drama series set in 1952 about four fictional women, Susan, Millie, Lucy, and Jean who have returned to their normal lives

I haven't really heard of it, but going by the description, it sounds fun. I'll have to look it up. Yay for smart women!

Hope you managed to get your hands on it! If not, let me know. ;)

I've been saving it up so I could marathon all three episodes. Just finished the first, and it is awesome! I could watch them brainstorm together for hours!

[nicolasechs]

Signe, have you finished your marathon? I've already watched the entire run twice and the first episode *mumbles* number of times! I can't decide what I like more, Susan/Millie or Millie/Lucy, or OT4 4EVA. :D

I have seen it all now, yes, though I had a bit of a panic with the third episode (my copy was a dud, and it took me a while to find a decent one), and considering how episode 2 ended, I really wanted to start ep 3 asap!

I want OT5: the women/maths! I just want episodes (or fic) full of them solving mysteries with maths! I think they should have their own little semi-secret department in Scotland Yard (did that exist back then? *is ignorant*), where all the cases too tough for everyone else get sent.

I can't decide what I like more, Susan/Millie or Millie/Lucy, or OT4 4EVA.

I'd have to go for Millie/Lucy out of those. I think that has a lot of potential.

Also, I finally worked out why Susan was familiar-looking - I saw Anna Maxwell Martin at a play reading a few weeks ago. Took me ages to place her!

PS, all four have been nominated and approved for yuletide! \o/

I don't think it is since it just finished its 3-episode run on ITV. But it's available elsewhere on the internets. :)

This sounds awesome!

[nicolasechs]

It really is! Hope you get a chance to check it out.

I hope so, too! I could watch them just going over train schedules and transit maps for hours and hours. Definitely the best kind of procedural crime drama I've watched in years!
