Oh, except for the research I did into London in 1923 and the Gentlemen's Clubs of London. In two eps, I found a song by Noel Coward that I could play in the Darling Buds Gentlemen's Club.
Often, the character and story went off in a direction I was not expecting. It's fun when characters have their own minds.
