The Real Generation X

on BBC Radio 4 FM

In 1964 two writers, Charles Hamblett and Jane Deverson , set out to understand the new "teenager .
- They called their subjects Generation X and the ground-breaking book they produced was a first in pop sociology. Within its pages was the voice of Britain's newly disaffected youth - from aristocrats in blazers to bikers in leather. The evangelical Christian Dr Billy Graham declared that Generation X were proof of the cataclysmic moral decline of the young. Forty years on, Generation X are close to retirement. Alan Dein tracks down the original participants and finds out how their lives have changed. Producer Matthew Dodd
