The duo really have burned their bras. They are hesitant and lack the supreme self-confidence of the tartan wearing woman of the left. Madge has no need to protest about anything. This disparity would not last for very long.
I don’t think they even sell rollers these days Judd but I remember them too and head scarves remember them? They were worn over rollers for the more sophisticated types

The film technicians on the left reassure us that we are not witnessing a real medieval torture scene. I haven’t used rawlpugs for many years but Wikipedia assures me that they are still being used. There used to be a worry about asbestos dust but I’m sure that is no longer the case.
The strength of those rawlplugs reminds me of that ad for…was it Solvite? …where a man was glued to a plywood sheet which was then flown through the air under a helicopter. Supposedly.
Maudsley and his companion are seen just next to the bottom left hand corner. This enables us to appreciate the scale of the animals that they are seeking.
Visitors from space were a common story line in science fiction publications. The space invaders are depicted as machine like. It is therefore not surprising that they mistake a betting machine as an inhabitant here on Earth. The cascade of metal coins is treated not as a jackpot but as being sick.
