Clichés


It's three episodes in and we've already had:
A VW camper van;
The Who;
A copy of Lady Chatterly's Lover (because nobody read anything else in the '60s);
A '50s 'family man' cheating on his wife;
A woman lying to get the pill;
The phrase "it's not for the likes of us";
LSD;
A backstreet abortion;
Divorce;
Racists throwing monkey nuts at a black man;
A Vietnam war protest;
A Trot selling out his principles;
An IRA bomb & an informant.

What otehr ones do you think we can expect? I'm guessing at least one of them will have a Porsche in the 1980s and another will be out with either the miners or the Greenham Common womem.

You missed Bob Dylan's Times are a Changin' which perfectly summed up the theme of the programme that the times are a changin.

Despite all the heavy handedness to show we are in the 60s, Claire Foy feels like Sma Tyler in a mini skirt and much of it feels contemporary. No-one seems to smoke indoors for eg.
