Yes, it was really good! I loved a lot about it, including plenty of the other characters, but Bea & Sister Ulrica together was definitely my favourite thing.
I thought about asking for it in Yuletide too, but then I couldn't bring myself to do so, because even though I thoroughly enjoyed the show, asking for fic set in a POW camp felt off.
It's never stopped there being Colditz fic. I suppose I can see what you might mean; but it's a fictional source and I'd be asking for the characters and relationships, whether in the camps or after they get out. I don't see any problem with that at all. I do have a tendency to fall for things where a small group of (preferably) disparate people are trapped together and have to deal with each other - from boarding school to Enemy at the Door to Tenko. I think it's as legitimate as anything else, unless I was making weird requests about upping the terrible circumstances or highlighting brutality or other aspects, but if I tended to that, I'd probably come up with worse things in much more innocent-seeming canons too!
In short, I am torn this years as I want lots of things, but this is definitely high on the list and is probably something I would have a better chance of getting! *looks sorrowfully at Shadow of the Tower* (Which, hey, is no less dodgy a historical fiction than Tenko. Indeed, most of them are, one way or another. I think we'll all be okay. ;-p)
