With Geoffrey Wheeler. A look back at events in the news exactly 50 years ago. At Aintree, a 100-to-l outsider romped home in the Grand National and brought untold riches to his owner and the people of a small Irish village. In the classrooms of Britain, pupils were preparing themselves for an extra year as the school-leaving age was raised from 14 to 15 years. Producer Gavin Fuller
Series editor Gaynor Vaughan Jones
