Thank you! I was itching to write another reverse chronology fic but you need just the right idea to make the style work and this seemed perfect. Because maybe Charlie is truly that manipulative and if push comes to shove... What was interesting was how the "bad guys" of the show, Charlie and Cynthia are telling mostly the truth, while the people we're supposed to root for, Alice and Dalal, are the ones committing adultery, conspiracy, etc, and leaving themselves in a vulnerable position.
Definitely worth a watch when it airs outside the UK. Episode 5 gave Charlie some juicy stuff to do, and the Guardian rightfully singled Ritson out for praise.
I'm glad the title worked; you know me and titles! And as usual it was the last thing to be chosen and I was desperate to get this one finished and posted because anything can happen in this show. I don't mind being jossed but it's always better to get things out there beforehand than to have a 'what-if' that seems implausible given later canon events!
