Any one watch Dalgliesh and notice the £5 notes?

I thought the Roy Marsden Shround for a Nightingale was far superior to the newest version, which seemed to wrap up the whole mystery far too quickly. And I don't like the Dalgleish characterisation. I know he is meant to be a deep-thinking, serious person but this new Dalgleish is just plain dull in my opinion.

They made a very clear mistake with the bank notes in episode 2.
The library book date label clearly states 19 Jan 1975, but the Sir Isaac Newton £1 note didn't come into circulation until 1978, and those had light grey guilloches. On later, revised notes, the guilloches were bright green, as used in Dalgliesh!
The radiator is seen about 15 seconds after Mrs Dettinger opens the door to Masterson. It's not ultra modern, but certainly looks more recent than 1975!
A pedant? Moi? Yeah, it looks that way doesn’t it!

PD James worked in hospital administration, I think in the 50/60s, and wrote in her spare time.
I think she based a lot of her novels on experiences that were rather out-of-date by the time her novels were published. I read them - actually don't think she's a patch on other detective writers - and got quite irritated by some of the things she got wrong.
I do think that the issue about married women working was patchy - where I live there wouldn't have been any teachers or nurses if the married women hadn't worked!

Have watched both eps of Shroud for a Nightingale. I personally found it all rather stilted and much preferred Roy Marsden’s portrayal.

Where is this on please. Which channel?

We did try to watch this, but found it so boring and slow. It was like a ‘ Miss Marple’ on a Sunday afternoon.

Channel 5 AGAA4

Did anyone notice in last night’s episode, that the woman officer who was called “Sergeant” by her Detective Inspector was wearing an Inspector’s uniform when speaking to Dalgliesh?
(DH was a policeman).

Detectives were all plain clothes in the force where I worked.

Oh was she not a detective? I think saying her DI made me think she was also a detective.

Thank you Mapleleaf.

I have not managed to stay awake through any episode yet.

This could mean:

a) I am tired by 9.30 and ready for bed or,

b) I have not been riveted by the plot so far.

Sadly, I think it’s the latter.
