The Fifties

BBC One
on BBC One London

Robert Robinson recalls the events of July 1951 - a memorable month for British sport.
Randolph Turpin became World Middleweight Champion, Doris Hart won at Wimbledon, and Roger Bannister ran a mile in 4 minutes 7.8 seconds. The Queen laid the Foundation Stone of the National Theatre, and residents of Chelsea celebrated the Festival of Britain by selling, appropriately, Chelsea buns in the King's Road.
