I was watching a Tom Baker / 4th Doctor episode where someone refers to the Prime Minister as “she.” Naturally I assumed that they were referring to Thatcher. Turns out that the episode was made before Thatcher took office, and the writers were being wild and futuristic by making the leader a woman.
Yeah but not everyone lives in the US, other places got it later, and reruns exist, yet usually stop after a few years.
Slightly off topic.
