Wouldn’t work as good if set in 2020


The whole calling the home phone number probably wouldn’t connect with people given that many don’t have land lines anymore.

So it would be her ringing his mobile and then finding out her number.

Then we’d have social media stalking.

“Oh look, that lady from the party liked my photo...and the next....She’s liked every photo. What’s going on?”

“Put your Instagram to private right now!”

As you can see, not really compelling viewing.

Absolutely. Back in those days everything was so more private. She would have had a much easier try getting to him with his connections if it were set today.

I'm amazed that people don't have land lines. Cell phones sound so crappy, it's like regressing to 1880.
