Emergency Ward 10

It is not the recommended treatment today,

I'd say you are incredibly uncritical. The production values of that sort of show weren't high. Cheap and cheerful.

Of course that's not to say they didn't have a good story well enough presented.

Ah - that explains it.

If you are talking B&W days, blue was more common than yellow for white. And in early colour days, bright white was still a problem, as the cameras couldn't handle the contrast ratio. So the white shirts etc wouldn't suit a proud mum - they were nearer grey.

This was pretty obvious on things like cricket where they couldn't control what was worn - the whites being invariably 'burnt out' if faces were exposed correctly.

Modern digital cameras have a far wider possible contrast ratio - actually larger than the receiver can handle. A decent operator can adjust the high brightness content without effecting the other parts.

Mary Whitehouse would have been wet ater watching that.

Well, everybody still alive IS approaching 90 in some ways. I have another 20½ years of approaching.

Oh? What is, then?

Bit early for pantomime season, isn't it?

Oh yes it is!!!

Panic attack or anxiety

A panic attack or anxiety can cause you to take rapid or deep breaths, known as hyperventilating. Concentrating on slow breathing or breathing through a paper bag should bring your breathing back to normal.

But Murtz reckons "It is not the recommended treatment today", which puzzled me somewhat.
