This is my first posting, so it seems appropriate to talk about "Mad Men" on tonight's BBC4. I have already had the pleasure of seeing the first episode thanks to the Internet. And I must say I wasn't disappointed. The opening credits are reminiscent to the same animation used in Casino Royale, and Don Draper is just as charismatic as Bond himself.
Set in the 1960s, the show represents the heyday of American advertising of a halcyon era. There's not a Mac in sight and if you asked for Photoshop you would probably be sent to the Kodak store down the road.
It really does look like Ad Men of that period lived the high life, with their fancy cars, high salaries, incestuous work relationships and boozing till the early hours of the morning. Has the industry really changed that much?
