With the two kids i tried to take influence from doctor who and how he interacts with his companions but i also didn't want to have the idea of a crazy guy travelling with a lass and the occasional lad as well and connecting the war feel in the story. The reason that i used kids is due to the concept of the London blitz were alot of kids lost family when they went into the countryside so i wanted Harold to become a father and allow ricky to show rebellion to his marauder past and the trauma that sarah had when the last marauder father figure died.
