History YMMV / TellMeOnASunday

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The original version of the show has become one, mainly due to the girl sending letters in the mail to communicate with her mother back home. Some contemporary productions will truly make it into a period piece, pointing out that the story is set in the 1980s to explain the lack of modern technology. Ironically, the updated 2003 version is falling into this as well; the protagonist's use of a laptop to send emails would now be considered outdated with texting on smartphones now being the norm.
* WereStillRelevantDammit: The 2003 London production starring Denise Van Outen. Revisions were made to update the show for the early 2000s (whereas it had previously been set in the 1980s). The girl writes home to her friends via email using a laptop, keeps urging her mother to buy a computer as mailing letters is "so old-fashioned", and also uses an online dating service. However, as [[https://web.archive.org/web/20100212124615/http://theatre-musical.com:80/songdance/recordings.html one fan said]], ''Tell Me on a Sunday'' works better as an UnintentionalPeriodPiece because with the instant communication we have today the girl would not feel so isolated from the world she left behind. Leaving one's family and moving to another country would have been a much bigger deal in the 1980s (and earlier) when the cost of long-distance phone calls was high and it took days to receive a letter in the mail. ''Series/{{Friends}}'' and ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' are also mentioned; ironically references such as those and even sending emails on a laptop (as opposed to, say, texting on a smartphone as has become more common) now date ''that'' version.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In the 2003 revival, there is a new song called "Haven in the Sky", which features an eerie-sounding chorus ''singing airline announcements'' while the girl sings about how relaxed she is on her flight to New York. It's pointless filler and is never brought up again.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In the 2003 revival, there is an added song called "Haven in the Sky", which features an eerie-sounding chorus singing airline announcements (?) while the girl sings about how relaxed she is on her flight to New York. It's pointless and contributes nothing to the story.
