I actually watched it c1990s.
1973 was just done 4 years ago and provides the prequel to the 1990s version with Mirren which you watched then and I discovered more recently. The attention to detail is simply astonishing.
BBC does a brilliant job with both the 1970s sets and mindsets as a newly minted police school grad has to navigate the horridly misogynist London poice force. The role is played to perfection.
Damn, I think I need to watch it again. Her eyes are mesmerizing.
....
The 50s and early 60s do seem a long ways back in time and culture, the Cuban missile crisis still scars me.
The late 60s vibrant still in my mind as I escaped to a wider world and the music still relevant.
Tennisons own escape from family resonates. They may indeed have been the best of times.
