    It is still the first of the civilised nations to take action in response to increased nationalism and pressures of globalisation.

    I was re-watching ashes to ashes which is almost a documentary on 80s / 90s sexism.

    Imagine modern kids watching the saint (original series with Roger Moore), Minder, the sweeney or similar.
    Lets not forget Mr Benny Hill. He was wholesome family entertainment back in the 80s.
