    Thank you! As a 63 year old American, I pine for these times. Thank you for taking the time to share these. History of a time, culture and era to never be seen again. 😢

      That’s the England I left to immigrate to America. There was good and bad. I can’t say I pine for that era , I have good memories but life was difficult for many.

      Glad you enjoyed it This 56 year-old American is in agreement. Although a lot of the episodes are unwatchable.

    The quality of writing and characterisation by the actors and the perception of the human condition within our culture is quite something..and what do we have now ? an avalanche of [ to quote Leonard Cohen] bubblegum but it's ok it's digital- haven't we progressed..

    Wide ties, big hair, no seatbelts, dreary decor, padded headboards, blankets, free flowing alcohol, lots and lots of white faces and crucially no street cameras, nor police interview tapes: Britain in the 1970's. I remember it well.

    Richard Pasco looks much younger than he did in the Beeb As You Like It, which was filmed well before this.
    I'm always amused seeing film of the roads in the UK pre the mid 80s.
    Even in 83 in London, there were no problems parking. Most people couldn't afford cars.
    And I've ALWAYS wondered why exactly English - I do mean English, not British - "housewives" wore those god awful vest/waistcoat things. What bastard clothes designers and buyers inflicted those things on them. Well, they probably all voted for Thatcher, so who cares. They even deserved all those bleeding oatmeal hues.

    Ah, the 1970s, when five and a half grand was a good annual salary! How puny the houses and cars look now. Richard Pasco was a fine actor, but I didn’t much care for the play; the story didn’t amount to much and the husband was a lying creep.
