It's not just films and the telly. We went to see "Quality Street" last week at the viaduct in Halifax. They deliberately used anachronistic music for the ball scene to make a humerous point, but the pupils were being taught to dance to "the downfall of Paris". As for railway scenes I despair, as quite often an appropriate loco and rolling stock is available with a quick repainted (which can be done with wash-off temporary paint; anyone remember the advert with GWR 6106 in psychadelic colours).
