A Year to Remember: 8: 1962

on BBC Radio 2

A series in which Cliff Michelmore catches the essence of memorable years gone by.
The year in which Marilyn Monroe died of an overdose, and Europe woke up to the tragedy of the pregnancy drug thalidomide. The world held its breath over the Cuban missile crisis, and a new TV programme That Was the Week That Was took its first swipe at the Establishment.
