I wondered how they were going to play this. A straight rerun of LoM wouldn't work, and they're not doing that. Havign a psychologist (not a psychiatrist) who 'knows' what's going on is going to be interesting, but also threatens to undermine some of the core metaphors by being too knowing. The first episode went well, though some parts of it were actively painful - Miami-Upon-Thames anyone? Only but Miami Vice hadn't stated in 1981... And the nostalgia is, as del_c says, going to be really painful because many of us were there bring the people having the piss made of them.

I'm also going to have geography trouble. I know London, so I have a fair idea where some of it is filmed as well as where it's meant to be. I probably walked past that junk shop under the arches twenty times in the last year, for example. So when they get it wrong it'll break. I don't know Manchester so that wasn't a problem (the only one I had an issue with there were the anachronistic airco units hanging out the back of a factory in one episode).

But it was fun...
