Apart from a few obvious candidates (Fawlty Towers, Fools and Horses) most comedies "show their age" over the years as they reflect the attitudes and situations of the time they are made. Indeed, the fact that they no longer appear as funny or relevant in the modern world could be seen as a back handed compliment to the creator as it shows they got the style and humour precisely right for the period in question. Even something like the Young Ones, which everyone fawned over in my school days, looks dated now and doesn't make me laugh as much as it did when it first went out in the 80s. IMHO of course.

Well, we've already had two posters say they attended this one, so not that slim I would boldly venture.... both have 'chosen' not to give feedback on what was discussed. Just an observation...

I've pondered on the same question myself before. If there are hundreds of countries with levels of 'artificial' debt in the multi-billions (which of course there are), why don't all these countries get together and say to the speculators: "ok, enough's enough....you've taken us for a ride for the last 30+ years....now it's our turn....we're writing off x% of our collective debt because we now realise it was accrued through self perpetuating gambling" Or words to that effect. Yes, I know, probably a lot of naive assumptions there but what is actually stopping the debt laden countries of the world calling time on those who hold said countries to ransom through market manipulation and computer screen financial jiggery-pokery? They'll make a socialist out of me yet...

Political parties in pre-election vote maximisation revelation shocker... ;-)

Well, indeed. That's precisely what's happened after previous such dinners. Just curious that this one hasn't given rise to the same level of public feedback. Seemingly.

Not even a brief summary of what was discussed? If all we get is people saying there was a Q&A dinner with Nicola a few weeks ago but no feedback is forthcoming then it might lead some people (not me, obviously) to conclude it didn't happen. Or, that people were asked not to reveal anything...
