What is the Representation of Britain in the 1980s?

Britain in the 1980s is shown to be quite a sexist country at the time, this is shown in the show "Ashes to Ashes" where Gene Hunt not only treats the main character with the attitude that he is better than her and that she is just an object, as she wakes up in the 1980s dressed as a prostitute. The ountry also appears patriotic as in the beginning there is a picture of the queen in a frame and in the ending sequnce ti shows them celebrating prince Charles is marrying Diana.
