The story of 60 years of popular music. A 26-week series.

'We used to play Sunday concerts in places all over the country where literally the whole family would come and listen to the music. It wouldn't just be a band concert: there'd be a comedian, a ventriloquist, a couple of singers - a sort of Sunday variety. And that kept the audiences coming in before television took them over.' (John Dankworth)

Kenneth More continues the history of popular music from the beginning of the 20th century with the help of Lita Roza, Moira Heath, Jack Parnell, Vic Lewis, Don Lusher, Wally Ridley, Harold Davison, John Dankworth and others.
