This story could have the makings of a great feature film


If for instance it was taken up by the people who produced 'Luther' (with Idris Elba) and was substantially re-written. The mechanics of the women's analytical method would need to be properly demonstrated instead of being presented as some sort of sketchy parlour trick as it was in the tv mini-series. And the stakes, tension and consequences of the cat and mouse game with the killer would need to be ramped up considerably. But the basic ingredients are there in spades.

I agree, women doing spy stuff is very interesting, especially if they spell it out clearly. I would also like to see more of what they did during the war. If they make it less of an amateur part-time detective agency and more af a serious analytics, it would be good.

I agree also, but please do not say it to loud. Some stupid American producer will want to make it, with a bland cutesy American female cast, and ruin the idea.
