The Fifties

BBC One
on BBC One London

Robert Robinson looks at the events, politics, sport, and entertainment of 1951. Tonight's programme deals with the month of August, when Sir Basil Spence's designs for Coventry Cathedral were accepted, and Sir Winston Churchill was made a Freeman of Dover and Deal. There's film of comedians Brian Reece (P.C. 49), Jewel and Warriss, and Terry-Thomas, and a BBC appeal to motorists to fit suppressors to their cars.
