When it comes to Heartbeat- are they ever moving into the 1970s?
The show has bene on for 11 years and is still set in the 1960s.
Surely they should let times move on?
Indeed. I was going to start a new thread about this, but seeing as at least half the people that come here, appear to
hate just about anything connected to ITV, and probably wouldn't care less, I changed my mind, and decided not to.

What set-up would Holby City Hospital have to have, to get News 24 in 14:9? Analogue satellite?
And regarding Heartbeat, it's reached 1969 now. They never mention the year, but there are clues (get a freeze-frame on the car/bike tax discs - or pay attention to exactly what plays on the radio!). Someday, somebody's got to turn up at the Aidensfield Arms and pay for a pint with the new-fangled 5p and 10p pieces...

So-bad-it's-good TV! The lamest, most boring rescue reconstructions ever seen on television, linked by Jake Humphrey, one of the lamest, most boring presenters ever seen on television!
And it gets worse with the "brave pets" section. Pets that saved people, though all they could find was dogs, including one that pushed a child into the path of a moving vehicle before pulling it back again, which hardly counts. Though it's better than the desperate bottom-of-the-barrel example they came up with for the last programme - a dog that only saved another dog. And only did that by "donating" blood.
When they come up with a talking mynah bird that phones 999 and gives a pep talk to the injured victim, *then* I'll be impressed.

Do you mean AAO as in "Against All Odds"? That is the CBBC version of 999
