played by Keeley and Linus. Stay tuned, as tomorrow the spy is bringing you a spotlight on Keeley's new series Traitors.
I suspect that this is something that will eventually show up on PBS in the US. I'll likely miss it unless I see that it is on and record it on my DVR. "Hydrogen bomb" piques my interest.

Tossing It Out
who would've guessed that a hydrogen bomb would drive you over here for a visit, Lee? :)
DeleteIs it any good?
ReplyDeletehow would I know, it hasn't started yet!
DeleteIt has good 'ingredients": the cold war period, Britain's testing of its first bomb. a russian jew inventor, MI5.
ReplyDeleteAnd, the 'raisin' on top of it - Toby Stephens with his magnetic presence.
Definitely worth seeing the series!
hope Toby and Keeley have a secret fling in the series :)
DeleteGood cast! I have long been a fan of Linus Roache.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen him in anything ever since he was a young boy.
DeleteJason will be all over anything having to do with the hydrogen bomb. It's going to have to go on the list.
ReplyDeletewhat's with da people today and the hydrogen bomb?
DeleteBecause something of that magnitude is fascinating, especially among the male species.
