I Hate the Sixties: the Decade That Was Too Good to Be True The myth of the Swinging Sixties has largely persisted unchallenged to this day. It's certainly true that this was an era of revolution, where the bulwarks of the establishment were cast down. However, according to contributors David Aaronovitch , Peter Hitchens and Sir Peregrine Worsthorne , what really emerged was a fragmented and feckless society, one which bequeathed a scarred landscape and a set of incoherent social precepts. Showing in the Time Shift strand. Producer Gerry Dawson : Executive producer Michael Poole
