In the title sequence there are photos from the 1960s (when the series takes place) except the photo of Nelson Mandela that was taken after his release from prison (it was taken in 1994).
The series is set in the early 1960s, but on the map shown in the title sequence, the borders of Israel encompass East Jerusalem and the West Bank. These territories were occupied by Jordan at the time; they were not administered by Israel until their capture in the 1967 Six-Day War.
