Foster mother to Sarah and Felix (and Kira), Siobhan Sadler – better known as Mrs. S – is fiercely protective and kind of terrifying.  In a good way.  Kris and Stephanie are joined by their guest, Susan, to talk about rifles, cardigans, meat forks, and international badassery.

Brixton/Pre-foster mom

• How did she come to be in Brixton? Did she move to Brixton with Mr. S (if there was a Mr. S)?
• Was she drawn to Brixton because of the political unrest there or was she there before it emerged?
• Involved with political leftists and radicals
• Sold arms to fund political activities

Fosters Sarah

• Sarah came to Siobhan when she was “a bit older” than Kira. Sarah says she was adopted around 8 and came to Canada around 12.

Moves to Canada

• Stays for a time with the Birdwatchers
• Why did they move there?

Questions

• From Celtise: “Maria Doyle Kennedy is Irish.  Just a coincidence, or relevant to the character of Mrs. S?  She is Mrs. S as opposed to Ms or Miss.  Is there a Mr. S going to pop up at some stage?”
• We know why she fostered Sarah.  Why did she also foster Felix?

Random Thoughts

• UNEXPECTEDLY TERRIFYING
• She had the most surprising change from Season 1 to 2. There were hints she might be a shady character in S1, but I did not expect THE CUTLERY.
• We see more of her maternal feelings toward Sarah in S2.
• “I’m on your side, love. Always have been.” But still, Kira comes first.
• Stephanie was intrigued by her interactions with Paul in S2, and not just because she totally ships Mrs. Paul: International Bad Abs. There’s an unexpected kinship there (and sexual tension!), and it was interesting watching them negotiate each other.
• Sexy Mrs. S! We liked that she got a brief romantic interest.
