It's amusing but it's sobering too... could it have been only a generation ago that people looked like that, dressed like that, and above all behaved like that... in an atmosphere of petty regimentation and bleak economic prospects all around? The series revives a recent past with love and care, and the little details of the characters' lives become important to us. The series' success led to a second run of episodes, but unfortunately without any further inspiration to work with.
