If Only The Past Was Another Country

Ranting Stan sums exactly what hacks me off about 'Life on Mars'. Actually, the first series surprised me by not being a PC fest. We'll see what it's like this time round. Still, the sneering at the past grates a bit, the more so when you realise that it's coming from the 'who are we to judge ?' demographic. Apparently, we can't say whether or not female circumcision is a 'good' or a 'bad', but pre-1997 Britain was a savage hell hole.

We need more multichronal sensitivity.
