Wait, if Lizzie is 17, then, huh? (spoilers)


OK, I'm not a math major, so bear with me. Season/series 2, it's 1953, and we meet Lizzie, who is 17 and will be training to be a teacher. Her birth parents, Alice & John, met at Bletchley during the war, so we'll say perhaps in 1940 at the earliest. We'll ignore the possible impact Alice's pregnancy and delivery might have had on her employment there and just do the math. How is Lizzie 17 just 13 or so years later. Am I missing something?

they met at Bletchley Cinema in 1936 and that's when they did the dirty deed.
