I'm glad to see it back. I love looking at the styles of the time and how the store and homes looked.

I stopped watching last season midway. I think the actual story is more interesting than the version they're portraying.

We love this show, but we did see a documentary of his life so that changes it somewhat for us.

I saw the documentary, too, and it does make it a bummer.

Every time I walk into a dept store I think of him. He pioneered so many firsts from dept store makeup counters to celebrity appearances to attract customers. A true visionary.

Our PBS station has all three episodes of The Bletchley Circle! Maybe it is a misprint in the newspaper.
