It all seems a world away now, but the mores of lawyers depicted in the 1990s TV drama This Life are still current. At least according to a survey commissioned to plug the series’ return to UK TV.

The survey of 2,000 white-collar professionals found that the ‘This Life’ generation (aged 35-44) continues to outdo younger colleagues by being over five times more likely to have been fired for having a romantic liaison at work than those aged 18-24.

The 35-44 year-olds were also more likely to have experienced a superior making a pass at them and to have been to a meeting hungover or still drunk from the night before, or to have embarrassed themselves while drunk at a work event. Obiter doesn’t believe a word of it, but will be watching anyway.
