Harold Creme , Market Trader
Harold Creme launched himself on the public with a flood of words he never believed himself capable of. His father decided to give up his stall and Harold, a diffident youth with a stammer, had either to talk or quit. He talked, and he has pattered on for 30 years, drawing crowds who come to laugh and sometimes stay to buy. He is a gambler who plays for small stakes in a casino and for large ones, by its very nature, in his daily work. Narrator DERYCK GUYLER

A report by Laurie Taylor

Black Panthers, Hippies, Yippies, Anti-Vietnam War resisters, Women's Liberationists, even the Grateful Dead and Dylan. The groups who came together in search of a second American revolution in the 1960s hardly sound like orthodox revolutionaries. And neither was there anything conventional about their tactics of sit-ins, mass marches, 'trashing', 'acid freak-outs' and 'be-ins'.

Ten years later, it's fashionable to regard much of this movement as having been ineffective and self-indulgent - it was a revolution that never happened. But Laurie Taylor argues that this unlikely combination of people and events helped to change the face of America. It finally ended the McCarthyite cold war era, helped to undermine the American war in Vietnam and fashioned a new life-style for half the Western world.

Roll Your Own Revolution is the story of how one place - the University of California at Berkeley - came to act as a forum for the whole movement.
