Re: Slow Horses. I had a similar thought, about how the real heroes of the stories are the women doing the admin, and how we underestimate them. Catherine Standish obviously, and Molly the records manager, and in season 4 there’s a character who is the very essence of the office manager who knows everyone and everything, but who gets overlooked and hated for her officiousness. So many things come down to an old fashioned phone call, or the filing system, or attending the right meetings.
