New series 1/4. By 1967 the rallying cry "turn on, tune in, drop out" had won hearts and minds among Britain's youth. This affectionate trip down memory lane evokes a time when the pill gave birth to free love, the top groove was the Beatles' All You Need Is Love, and LSD use mushroomed. Narrated by Bill Nighy with contributions from, among others, Donovan, Bill Wyman, Mary Quant and Tony Benn.
