Pre-1965 TV and Cinema where the TV or radio comes on INSTANTLY. Battery valve radios do, but I've no memory of seeing one on TV or Cinema. Mains valve (tube) sets with isolation transformer about 30 seconds. The cheaper radios and all Valve TVs can take a minute.
You can pay a taxi to follow a taxi, but unless you are at a station rank before the train comes in you might not find a taxi!
Which film had the joke where the guy says, "Follow that Taxi!"
And it does, but without giving the guy time to get in?
Or when the character calls someone they always answer their (mobile) phone?
