Darkness imprisoning me, all I see is absolute horror

[cyrano]

Quickly lost both the hat and the coat, as it's far too warm at work for that tomfoolery. However, I did get to castigate somebody. "I beg your pardon, sir. I sail under letters of marque from the Queen! I am a servant of Her Majesty. You should keep a civil tongue in your head."


As a lead up to IFIAYAQD!, I ask you (especially if you're knowledgeable in the area or bored and have access to Google) what the state of police forensics was in 1920--specifically in Cardiff.
(And for the T3 team, there's nothing to worry about. None of you are going to be paralysed, considered dead, and then presented for an autopsy/vivisection while the rest of the crew frantically scrambles to rescue you.)

(At least, not *this* episode.)

It's sad. So don't click on it if you don't want sad.

What's IFIAYAQD? And have you read the novel 'the Alienist' by Caleb Carr, set in 1896 and has a bunch of forensic type stuff in it. Also, Sherlock holmes novels.

IFIAYAQD! is "It's Friday I Ask You A Question Day!" which evolved naturally from "IFAMAQD!".
And I have never read the Alienist, and it's been long enough since I've read any of the Doyle books that I cannot remember the contents.
