Unintentional Period Piece | |
The Gravy Train / int_adda84d4 | comment |
Unintentional Period Piece: The series refers to the European Economic Community rather than the European Union. It also features a still-communist Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. There are references to East and West Germany being separate countries, as well as to Margaret Thatcher being in power. Several main characters smoke in public buildings and transport, large cuboid mobile telephones are used and the computers have large white CRT monitors with green text on a black background. From 2019, the British presence in the European government will also be a sign of the times. | |
