Well done Mr Brooker and Mr Ali.
This was a thoroughly entertaining episode both funny and dark by turns, but mostly funny.
The two lead characters Nida and Gaap, played wonderfully by Anjana Vasan and Paapa Essiedu respectively, were perfect.
Everything worked for me including the locations, the sets, the clothes and the music.
Why? Well, I was about the same age as Nida at the time, the pretend tiles in her bathroom were the same as in my parents' home, the department store location was literally in my hometown, the National Front were our era's "tossers", and the nuclear threat was always all pervading.
This was a wonderful neat little package of a show. Well worth waiting for, even if the nostalgia does not resonate with you.
