Where can I find BBC "Liver Birds" episodes dating to DECIMALIZATION (1971, LB Season 2 & 3) ???
I somehow expect that decimalization must have made its way into the scripts somehow.
Interesting prices noted for 1975: Front Loader Clothes Washer @ 100 UKP !!! Oooutch that's dear!

Liver Birds notes
-- The whole series should be available via .torrent files, but it isn't.
-- Hulu.com has no agreement to run BBC Classic Material (when the BBC TV produced most of its content, 1945-1980s).
-- All Liver Birds episodes are in Colour (to the best of my knowledge) as it was a Flagship programme at the time.
