The [[TurnOfTheMillennium Millennium Special]] where they mention the Millennium Bug and Maureen Rees from ''Driving School'', for example. [[note]]Like many other works by Jonathan Harvey, the scripts are full of up-to-the-minute references that can even more precisely identify when the show is set. With references to applying hair mascara, a fantasy sequence recounting the very beginnings of the short-lived reality show-formed pop group Hear'Say, and descriptions of specific then-topical ''Series/BigBrother'' contestants, often a single episode can be dated to a roughly 6-month period when that particular fad or pop cultural reference was still current.[[/note]]
