[xmas] 1970: The Office Christmas Party … A wonderful TV time capsule from the BBC Archive about a Christmas party at a London advertising agency in 1969. It has a real Adam Curtis vibe to it and not surprisingly he wrote about it in 2010. ‘The old patrician world of British advertising was being dismantled and by now much of it had gone from the agency. The only real remnant of that old world in the film is Mary Crowley from Accounts (along with her unnamed friend from Wages). I love Mary Crowley, she is like a ghost from an older Britain haunting the new “on-trend” flash agency.’
