If you ever hanker after the fashions and fads of the 1980s, you won’t want to miss Sky Atlantic’s new US sitcom Black Monday.

Set in a Wall Street trading firm, the 10-part comedy is crammed with references to shoulder pads, Nintendo and Nancy Reagan – all to a soundtrack of Duran Duran, Tears for Fears and Run DMC.
