The days stretch longer for Tuppence without her husband, and she starts remembering the times when she and Tommy spent time together, when they actually did a little detective work together in their younger days, when he considered her an equal partner in their marriage. Now, that was all right, while they had children to occupy her, but their children are grown and gone now, leading lives of their own.
In fact, it sounds like he's gone for months at a time every now and again, off on some diplomatic errand or other.
He has a job with the British government (my fangirling heart burst knowing that he works at MI6!) and he's away from home most of the time. You have adventures together, spend gads of time in each other's company, bear children together, and somehow settle into that daily grind of life where nothing new ever happens. Most people marry relatively young, as did Tommy and Tuppence. Now that you've had my prologue (although I confess that Anthony doesn't have nearly enough scenes for a die-hard fangirl like me!), we can move on to the meat of Tommy and Tuppence's relationship. Now I do, and I wish to high heaven that some genius had leapt to his/her feet and declared the necessity of a Tommy and Tuppence miniseries! Just a single season, possibly only 4 episodes, but each one casting this brilliant duo of Anthony Andrews and Greta Scacchi. It didn't snag my interest for very long, possibly because I didn't have a visual to go with the story. If you need more on that, look here or ask.I vaguely remember reading this Agatha Christie novel once, quite a few years back, and being surprised that she'd written something without either Poirot or Miss Marple. For organizational and tumblr savior purposes, everything gets tagged with at least the name of the show and usually the episode name or number.
Regarding spoilers: I usually start posting stuff from new episodes the next day. I'm Emily, and this is some love for PBS's Masterpiece.
