Almost Grown

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A series of five programmes about British teenagers from the 1950s to today.
1: 'That's What I Want...'
The post-war consumer boom found young people more than eager to go for what they wanted and with an open job market - 'we had no worries, no worries at all ...' The advertisers labelled these new consumers 'teenagers'. This first programme presents memories of hope and carefree times in a world apparently made for the young, plus memories of achievement, pressure and 'closing doors'. Have teenagers ever got what they wanted or has it just been sold to them?
