The easy way to do this is not to fuss about exactly which props are used (!). Just film/record it all in sepia monochrome.

Very Good sketch. Well done Matey!
Quote: Afinkawan @ May 30 2008, 12:16 PM BSTI disagree. I think the variety of old technologies just makes it funnier. The gag is that kids on the bus are being annoying in a thoroughly modern way, but before the technology was invented. The whole joke is about anachronism.
The anachronism aspect doesn't work as well for me, if it's set in lots of different times. And I think it's about a lot more than just anchronistic references.
