Trivia
During Susan's meeting with Cavendish, he refers to her and her colleagues as "Alan's girls." Presumably this is a reference to Alan Turing, the brilliant mathematician who was instrumental in cracking Germany's Enigma machine code during WWII at Bletchley Circle.

Goofs
The drama is set in 1952. The Routemaster bus, so often a marker for London, did not enter service until 1956.

Quotes
Susan: The first time you baked a cake, what happened?
Millie: I don't bake cakes.
Lucy: Mine fell.

9/10

The might of four.

With the four minds working as one unit the killer's days are surely numbered. The second part builds the story, and delves further into the lives of the four main characters.

The episode is ultimately successful, in thay it builds on the story, which gets darker and more intruguing, it develops each of the characters, giving them all plausible lives, and it manages to successfully create a flavour of life in Britain in the 1950's, giving an insight into what life was like for many women.

The acting is impeccable once again. All perform beautifully, but for me it's Anna Maxwell Martin who steals the show, her acting and character are engrossing. She was definitely the missing element in the recent Bletchley San Francisco series.

It's so interesting, so well constructed, I can't wait to see the conclusion. 9/10
