I adored the show when I was about 11 (and probably a bit too young, really, to be watching and appreciating storylines like Rose's tragedy). I've never lost my love for Tenko.
Aww. I was younger than that when it was first on, but I was about that age when I saw Wish Me Luck, which was made by several of the same people and even though it was a bit too old/scary for me, I also adored it. 80s videotape and WWII women in the Resistance! I think we need the things like that, as well as the more 'appropriate' ones.
Thanks for the book recs! I don't know if I can get hold of them, but I'd never have thought of looking, because old TV tie-ins are usually so terrible.
I love Bea. (How can you not love Stephanie Cole in everything she has ever done?) But the character that always intrigued me the most was one quite a bit less likeable. If I ever wrote fic for Tenko, I'd probably make it Dorothy-centric.
Oh, I really liked Dorothy, too, and her relationship with Sister Ulrica as well. But as you say Stephanie Cole is just amazing, and I hadn't had any idea she was in it, or who she was and Ulrica and Bea just stole my heart with their relationship.
