Gentleman Jack was produced in association with HBO. It was broadcast in the US before the UK. HBO produced Chernobyl and Game of Thrones along with many other top-rated TV series. Amazon was involved in bringing Fleabag to the screens. Not as cut and dried as people claim.

There was and still is, no real justification for the 75 age limit. State pension age would be understandable and based upon principle. Nothing at age 74 makes them any more likely to afford it, than at age 75.
