Looks very nice... if a little slow.

Not sure why they are banging on about 1984. Its a village... that kind of village in England is timeless, I know plenty of villages like that, they looked like that in 1980, 1990 and they look like that now.

Anyhow, looks really nice mostly... lets see how it plays.

What he said. Except for the village part, since I have no idea about that.

Basically, he's saying there are many such villages that appear 'stuck in an age long since past'.  Some of these do it naturally, others are actually by law, required to look a certain way.  A town near where I live, Stowe Vermont, requires all commercial businesses to look 'old timey' if you will (Not sure how far it extends though).  There was a big to-do with McDonalds awhile ago, because in order for McD's to open a franchise there, they'd have to (and did) redesign the exterior to fit in the with towns overall aesthetic.
