[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 149967, member: 23"] Easily done. I'm over halfway through the entire series but it feels like I've barely started. It definitely bears saying again. It's actually the lack of Percy Filth that got me thinking about that era. I can't help feeling that characters like Geoffrey more accurately represent the majority of people at the time. But the media of the era - including music, TV and film - was biased towards the more salacious stuff and with little to provide balance that's become the legacy. A huge appeal of this series is that it celebrates the mundane. Nice observation. And now you've mentioned it, yes it does. There was a hint of that in [I]The Lovers [/I]where Beryl's mum shortened her skirt because "there are seventeen women and one man in my lampshade making class". [/QUOTE]
