If you want 100% authenticity then, no doubt, the DG will be pleased to send you the bill, as he can't set his own funding levels! 10/10 for the TV Remote in the first episode - one quick shot of the business end showed that they'd actually used an ultra-sonic remote.

In 'Life on Mars' I spotted a Pye/Phillips cassette recorder used when interviewing suspects which could only have existed in the eighties, it was a common model found in schools paired with the BBC Micro for loading programs... Of course it's all a construct.... ;-) -- Adrian C |

Do you mean the particular model? CC was invented in the early'60s. -- *Does fuzzy logic tickle? * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

I remember them showing a diagram of a 1920s tv studio a couple of yrs ago, showing banks of lighting. Looks like they hadnt even heard of the equipment that was used at the time, flying spot scanners, which required total darkness to operate. Must have been a strange experience for the actors, working in darkness with a 30Hz pulsed beam of light shining straight in their eyes. NT |
