1976: Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe creates hot news as Britain swelters in the summer scorcher, and peanut farming becomes a thing of the past for America's president-elect. The news: British mercenaries fight in Angola, there are riots in Soweto and the Notting Hill Carnival erupts into violence.
John Curry is the golden boy and as the heatwave brings water rationing, new wave causes a splash. The music: Billy Ocean, Bryan Ferry , David Bowie , the Rolling Stones, Thin Lizzy, Abba and the Sex Pistols.
