Truly brilliant. Especially the superb Olivia Coleman as Minka and Mrs. Best. Going through severe depression and this makes me smile. Try it. ❤
@hanneshuette
Thanks for the encouragement to try it, Elaine - I am going to now 👍🏻 Humour is such a good medicine - even in the very darkest of times. Sending some light your way ✨
@cosmicswan7777
Comedy really helps. I hope things are getting better for you now!!!❤❤❤
@BMrider75
Lill Roughley played Mrs Best.
Wonderful.
Olivia Colman 's performance of Minka was brilliant.

Been there, keep going. Small improvements count. Change is logarithmic.
It took meds, therapy and time for me. But change is possible, this is just temporary. Just keep going❤
@debsday5445
Absolutely brilliant, laughed so much 😂
@steviegaga
I agree with a brilliant idea for a sit-com. It worked for M*A*S*H. I’ve always been intrigued with the work done at Bletchley. Great ensemble comedy. Thanks!
@christinemcintosh1450
So good I really enjoyed it and laughed out loud a lot. Well done
@matthewcoulter5629
