My fave parts of this 70s TV clip are:
2:15 - society designer David Hicks describes his favourite colour combinations:
"I sit down with colour paint books," David says. "And I think god, how marvellous it would be to have that orange with that particular kind of lettuce green."
2:27 - retired domestic help Margaret Powell goes shopping for lamps, to create her dream sitting room:
"No, no, not that one," Margaret says. "I like pineapples as much as anybody but not made into lamps."
Needless to say, Mr Hicks and Mrs Powell are deeply offended by each other's design for the perfect 1970s sitting room...
