About the Book

From fashion and pop music to politics and sex, the 1960s was a revolutionary decade that was to change the way we lived forever. And television was no exception: if the Fifties were epitomised by the polite continuity announcer with his dinner jacket and impeccable RP accent, the Sixties were all about Diana Rigg in that catsuit high-kicking her way out of trouble. An extraordinary number of classic shows were born in the 1960s, some of which are still running today - from "Top of the Pops" and "Coronation Street" to "Doctor Who" and "Star Trek". Many great sitcoms, including "Steptoe & Son", "The Likely Lads", "Dad's Army" and "Till Death Us Do Part", were first shown in this decade, and it was a remarkable era for children's programmes: "Blue Peter", "Play School", "Trumpton", "Basil Brush", "The Clangers", "The Magic Roundabout" and "Thunderbirds" have been enjoyed by generations of kids. Other shows defy categorization: "The Man from UNCLE", "The Prisoner", "That Was the Week That Was" and "Candid Camera" rewrote the rules, and great TV events like 1966's World Cup Final and the Moon landing in 1969 brought the country together round the television set in a way that had never happened before. This indispensable guide provides a quirky and highly enjoyable trip down memory lane for all classic TV fans.
