In a recent episode of Coupling (shown here on BBC America), there is a
split-screen night time sequence in which the activities of one of the male
characters and of his girlfriend are shown one hour apart.

The left side of the split screen starts with the time 00:30, while the
right side shows 01:30. They eventually merge, with the time on the right
side taking over.

Obviously, the producers of Coupling consider the British public (and any
others who view the show -- Canadians on BBC Canada, Americans on BBC
America, etc.) to be sophisticated enough to understand the 24 h clock.
