Oh absolutely, I agree there - it's still 1973, and I seem to remember hearing that there wasn't a time gap (or I suppose only as was usual between the episodes last year). And I really like that the wardrobes are realistically limited. I don't know Manchester well, so I can't judge about the houses: they don't match up with this area, though they do a bit more with where I lived in Hull.
But it was more the angles that scenes were shot from, and where the actors were within the frame of those shots, posture combined with set dressing and costume, if you see what I mean. Obviously, if it's just the one actor then there are only a limited number of ways they could sit in a chair, or whatever, but once you bring a few of them in, then lining them up in a copy of a shot that we've seen before seems premeditated / deliberate. Or, um, they've run out of new and interesting ways to do things.
Or perhaps I've just spent way too much time... ah... appreciating the manly charms of Philip Glenister and John Simm. ;-)
