I’m still watching this on catch up, but a bit behind hand,
Now on series 3.
35 or so years on, just noting how times have changed, and not just in the fashions.
1. They don’t always bother to fasten their seat belts in the car.
2. In the main, the woman always seems to cook the evening meal, and be in charge of all ‘housekeeping’.
3. One of the characters, Gerald Urquaart, is gay but has not ‘come out’, still in a marriage, very ground breaking back then.
4. Cigars are smoked frequently, in the workplace and in the pub.
5. Postcards or letters seem to be the chief way of keeping in touch with anyone abroad.
Just a few differences to now, but oh dear, where has that 35 years gone?
