Yes, housing was significantly cheaper relative to average incomes. That was something very good about the 1970s. But let's stop all this nostalgia for times that were by pretty much every metric shittier than today.

Definitely, it was a helpful introduction to the books for me! BTW I managed to get it on DVD but via a US issue. Will be interested to know what you think of it!

I was very taken by it (borderline obsessed!!) when 1st broadcast and read the books in 3 massive anthologies. still v fond of the novels, esp the Oxford, Whitehall and nuclear bits. The TV series hasn’t aged well (despite the cast). Sadly the lead, Shaughan Seymour, just wasn’t strong enough imho.

It’s the opening section of “The Book of Laughter & Forgetting” in case you’re interested. Although I just had to go and look it up! It’s been a while since I read it.

Ha ha. Love this. Am still haunted by the Milan Kundera story about the Czech politician whose hat was the only thing that remained of him because he’d lent it to another leader for a photograph from which he was subsequently erased.
