From skiffle to the moon - a nostalgic look at the last decade, illustrated by the music and comment of the people who shaped it
3: The Permissive Society
The first two programmes. besides presenting the general social background of the 1960s, have dealt in detail with the younger generation, the rise and fall of skiffle and rock-'n'roll, and the impact of the Beatles. Today's programme, the third and last, takes a general look at satire, both in the theatre and in broadcasting; the pop scene; and swinging Britain.
