But then a common mistake of any 'period' drama is to load the sets with everything that is totally contemporary to the minute. Real life's not like that. A five-year-old car in 1973 would be from the late 1960s. And any shop that was last decorated 10 years previously would actually have been from the early 1960s. We replace our PCs every few years because they become obsolete. But a typewriter made in 1960 would be pretty much as useful as one made in 1973.
