I did watch Life on Mars and semi-enjoyed it - but a lot of it I did find very irritating. <br /><br />Ever since Mr FF pointed out to me (in a completely different series set in the fifties) that whenever you see old cars in these sorts of retro-programmes they are always spotless because of being owned as a vintage piece. it has kind of spoilt this genre for me. It's true - the cars are in pristine condition, understandably so, yet this one thing means that I no longer watch anything set in an era when the Wolsey or Cortina might be flaunting itself to lend authenticity.French Fancy...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04941577892849157015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-43990282980853281592010-05-24T09:09:12.918+02:002010-05-24T09:09:12.918+02:00Oh no but you see that's what's confusing ...Oh no but you see that's what's confusing me.
