The programme also featured a great (if probably unintentional) visual/musical pun just following your first clip here. During the montage showing the drive north to Sheffield and the Human League, there's a shot of Sheffield University's 'Factory of the Future' building (where, by some deep assignment, I've just started work). The music playing is '4JG' by The Future. This, I think, just goes to show.
