1: 1960. Gayle Hunnicutt investigates the reasons why the rich and handsome Senator Jack Kennedy defeated the incumbent Vice-President Nixon. This was the first television election.
Almost halfthe population watched the first ever TV debate between candidates. Kennedy strolled to victory, not so much because of what he said, but primarily because of how he looked.

Corin Redgrave presents a series drawing on the BBC's remarkable oral history of the 20th-century.
This was a century in which the majority of the population's living conditions changed dramatically, though for some the spectre of homelessness had still not been eradicated as the century came to a close. Members of Britain's black and Asian communities talk about the over-crowded conditions that they tolerated when they first arrived in the UK and of the general improvements that have occurred over the last 30 years. The programme also looks at the pros and cons of home ownership - including repossession, negative equity and homelessness.
