We both remembered Caught on a Train from its original broadcast, or another repeat years ago, but we watched it again last night. it is so brilliant! I couldnt remember seeing it in colour, and certainly when I moved in with David in 1982 he only had a little square black and white TV, so it's quite possible if it was that long ago that I never did until now. A lot of things have indeed improved, not least the advent of mobile phones, so that if everything is going tits up on a journey you can usually alert whoever you are planning to meet. Unless you have no signal, the train is failing to charge your phone battery, or the other person's phone is switched off, of course.
Very true. Yesterday I had a lift across London with a friend to a function near St Paul's. We were following the satnav and saying "How Did People Manage Before GPS?" I worry a bit that it's "de-skilling" us - but then again, I never had much skill in the navigation department anyway. I'm sure it's saved some marriages.

We don’t use satnav - we like maps and signposts!
