Back in 1960 we see Joan Harris (played by Christina Hendricks) quoting Marshall McLuhan, the noted media theorist. While McLuhan had already seen his first book published by the start of the 60s, his work The Medium Is The Message was not actually published until 1967. Weiner said: Unless she was in his class in Canada, she wouldnt have known. He was probably using it already, but it was not in print. He also admitted that it was the biggest blunder he made during the first season of the show. In fairness, if thats the worst mistake youre making, then youre probably doing a pretty good job.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
