My comments on props was that they POST dated not PRE dated the timeline. 

I wholeheartedly agree that furnishing was, and to me still, is expensive. My mum still has all my parents original furniture with the exception of 3 piece suite, other bits have been added! They married in 1953 and moved into our family home in 1956, when I suspect some of the furniture was bought, if there was spare cash as I arrived within days 😂. The spare double bed, which was dismantled and stored at one point per dates their marriage and may well date back to grandparents early days that would be 1920's (or before) I must ask.

Interesting comment about the lack of soil from the grave.

Next episode Tuesday evening.

Edit the props issue maybe why I prefer radio/audible or reading. The props will be right in my head 😂😂

Just had an hour watching the story on i-player, I didn't notice the "props" so I guess they reflected the changing eras and I thought it was a very good story. I've just been reading up on the actual story and although I now know how the series will pan out the fact that the family are reconciled to their history is quite an achievement, considering the tangled web that was woven. Will look forward to the next programme. 

Well, it ended last night. Whether we know anymore about the main character is still in doubt. It seems he was not a complete Walter Mitty character. There has even been some academic research into him. Some might find this link interesting, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46456654 Maybe leave this until after you have watched the final episode. I thought it a good story but also found a few frustrations with it but perhaps that was bound to be the case?

Interesting that the main character was played by her own grand-daughter.

It was a very intriguing story - there was a footnote at the end of the programme saying that even earlier this year the government refused to release any details of his career on the grounds of national security!

Thoroughly enjoyed the show , no doubt there was poetic licence thrown in .But regarding national security ..the silence speaks volumes.

Watched the final part on i player having read the intriguing write up in the Radio Times earlier (especially the Anthony Blunt bit) so knew the story had been altered, but what a story and well acted too. Nice to think the family have got together, at least something good came out of this gothic tale.
