I watched ITVs new drama tonight. Well, to be honest I nodded off part way through buy I did try:-) Anyway, it is set in modern day York. The snippets of everyday life you see are absolutely spot on. The clothing. The Market. The shops. Even the wigs (yes - it is a courtroom drama) Yet the central protagonists are Angels. Wings, the lot. When did that program cease to be a factual piece of drama? I think it was probably when it was written. Just like Treasure Island it was made up. It is fiction. Neither of them ever ceased to be a factual piece because they never started life in that genre. Any facts that are given within them simply support the story but are not usualy pivotal. As the disclaimers say, any similarity to persons living or dead is unintentional. Or however they say it.

And I disagree about the American gent's wig. I think it is real hair and, if you notice, there is a desription of what he wears and holds. No mention of a hairpiece. Red Herring about his being American - You state that wigs 'were universal among all aspirants to 'gentry' status' and ask for a single piece of evidence to refute that. I believe have provided it.

Going back a couple of posts BTW I asked why D Major rather than just D. I am still unsure when the term major should be used as I don't appreciate the difference or whan to tag the term 'major' onto the key while it major is usualy assumed. Can you help with that one?

Cheers
