The Rock and Poll Years: 2

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Five programmes mixing pop and politics to capture the atmosphere and chart the course of general election campaigns which changed the country.

Ned Sherrin tunes in to 1964, when the Beatles conquered America and Roy Orbison yearned for a Pretty Woman. The Tories thought Sir Alec Douglas Home was the man to lead the country into the Swinging Sixties, but Labour's Harold Wilson was determined to stop him.
