Re: In For A Penny’....What A Load Of Trash?
The very first series of The Bletchley Circle wasn't bad, set in England just after the war.However, the next series moved them to the USA, for some reason, and I don't know who wrote the script but it was absolutely awful! I think it must have been the worst bit of script-writing I've ever seen on the TV. I couldn't bear it. I stuck with it for another couple of episodes but in the end had to give up as it was so gut-wrenchingly awful.
It was like it had been written by an amateur for a local church hall production, and contained so many clichès that it was farcical.
The series is back again, but I couldn't bring myself to see if it had got better, besides which, a lot of the original cast has changed anyway.
(Ps. Nothing wrong with amateurs writing scripts for local church hall productions, but you expect better from national television!)

But the viewing public generally gets what it deserves, one can generally get an idea of what you will see on the screen by reading the progam schedules in the weekly TV magazines.
