Re: Technology related anachronisms on TV and in films etc.
On 'Call The Midwife' last night, there was a power cut in the maternity unit. The Doctor's son was instructed to crank what looked remarkably like a medical 'shocking' coil; a wooden-cased generator, to which was connected a string of old-fashioned carbon filament lamps, which proceeded to glow to full brilliancy.
If that's the sort of energy a 'shocking coil' gave out, I think I'd've stuck with leeches!
