I rewatched this last night. I was struck by how light the office was and well, 'normal' looking. Now, I have worked in my share of central London offices which didn't have much natural light, but at least we were allowed ceiling lights. I'm not sure how legal the current grid is in terms of working conditions, etc. You would be down Specsavers after 6 months of working there!

I think it's a fashion thing, the dark lighting because Waking the Dead springs to mind as another show short on electric. In fact Mr WS has been known to shout at the TV 'not another load of people working in a dungeon'.
