I was similarly shocked by characters in their 40s ogling and catcalling at "girls" in school uniform (though clearly played by women in their 20s). This seems to be a norm of the era, and it goes so strongly against today's paedogeddon mores that even a gritty crime drama wouldn't have too much of it nowadays, let alone a family sitcom. For those unfamiliar with the British School system: someone in a school uniform is definitely below 18-and-a-bit, and considering the nature of further education before the late 80s, would very likely have been below 16 (even more likely if female).
