Hi Rebecca,

I agree with many of your comments but ...

"Everyone talks like Julie Christie in 'Darling'.

...

There are some unnecessarily futuristic features like Straker's lavish bar.
What's wrong with a bottle? And no one should drink on the job.

The clothes are horrible. Everyone seems to be wearing pyjamas.

All the smoking is disgusting and makes the show look dated."

Isn't this just the problem with viewing something from 40 years ago?
Smoking makes it look dated simply because it genuinely is dated.

Also, you might find some people with a soft spot for the clothes. I
wouldn't be seen dead in them, mind, but give it a few years and who knows
what fashion might come back around? I certainly didn't expect to see flares
receiving another airing!

No criticism, just an observation.
