Now here's a nice idea. BBC4 (a nice idea in its own
right) is going to host a sixties-fest. But it's not
going to be an all-out, there was some sort of golden
age of TV back then, fest, according to
this article in The
Guardian.
No, it's going to look at the actual stuff they
broadcast at the time. We think of the sixties as
wall-to-wall Avengers, Kenneth Clarke's
'Civilisation', Python and Dennis Potter. In fact
there were a lot of American imports, Miss World,
Black and White Minstrels...it should be a
fascinating thing to watch and I shall certainly be
tuning in.
BBC4, for those of you who've not yet tuned in, is well worth a visit.
