• “Back when we were shooting it,” says the actor Nicholas Burns, who played Nathan, “I remember one producer saying, ‘This show will date terribly. In three or four years it’ll look awful.’ But watching it again, you see how prescient it was. It really is the world we live in now. A friend who lives in Dalston told me they saw someone riding a penny farthing the other day. It’s unbelievable really.”As someone who once saw a fixed-gear cyclist bombing down Stoke Newington High Street in a GENERAL PINOCHET T-shirt, I am inclined to agree.
