Any one watch Dalgliesh and notice the £5 notes?

I enjoyed it though some things weren't quite right about the 70's. I started nurse training in 1974 in Edinburgh. The uniforms were similar. The nasogastric tube was much bigger than would be passed though one of our class had to volunteer to have it performed in practical lessons. The big size of tube was used if you had to have a stomach washout for an overdose. The doctor was similar to the consultants at the time. Toffee nosed and pompous and went to the right schools in Edinburgh! I thought the police sergeant? was a bit behind the times. There was a lot of sex went on between doctors and nurses in the hospital. Not sure if that happens now in the new buildings and the doctors are much more approachable and not so hoity toity. Nicer to patients and more appreciative of their colleagues. My friend and I qualified and moved to Isle of Wight to do our midwifery training and it was completely different. Social interactions between staff better and patient knowledge better - patient's questioned staff about treatments so you had to know what you were talking about. In Edinburgh it was like doctor knows best. Don't ask questions. In fact when I retired 3 years ago there were still some hoity toity toffs who looked down their noses at nurses though at my age and stage I would question and not stand undermining attitudes. All in all I think it did reflect the 70's. Probably police were much the same as doctors all in all.

I think that it is always difficult to pick up the baton when another actor has previously been identified with the character - I have always thought Joan Hickson to be the quintessential Miss Marple for example. However, I thought that Bertie Carvel was an excellent Dalgliesh.

Calm down, dear!

Yes, there were a couple of blips, I thought.

Phwoarrr! ??

I remember some of my teachers back in the 1950s being married, too.

I had to check when Dalgliesh was set as it felt as if it was more 1940s/1950s than 1970s.

Although the sideburns were very 1970s!

I enjoyed it. Set in 1970s. I was struck by that nurse saying that she was leaving as she was marrying and 'they' don't want to employ married women. Nonsense. My sister was a nurse in the 70s and she was married as were many of her nursing colleagues.

Yes we did.

I saw some notes, but thought they were £1 ones, but I did think they looked a bit modern.

Yes DH and I both noticed, they certainly did look like new £5 notes.
