Being a Californian, I find the comments here more entertaining than the video! [:-)] I've always been a fanatic about British culture. Great TV shows, great movies & the best music. I mean it.
Associated with the second-lead story on this video (2:32) and the late Liverpool (and Scotland and Tranmere Rovers) keeper, the late Tommy Lawrence - th-cam.com/video/FVYQvOt64GE/w-d-xo.html
The great irony is that the very end of the broadcast, which was interesting, but as usual, the BBC being pompously self-referential - was that the announcer said 'we are back on track now', as she announced the latest piece of biased wallpaper from the Blair Broadcasting Corporation. There was great television in the 1960's, far more than there is now, and even with only three channels.
Strangely cropped pictures. Probably originally widescreen. Generally a fair look back at the 60s, but needed some fact checking. "Armchair Theatre" was not produced by ATV (it came from ABC). And strange to see 1930s cameras in what are supposed to be 1960s TV studios. Sloppiness undercuts the otherwise interesting analysis..
Rubbish. TV was great until the likes of 'Little Britain', 'Mighty Boosh' and 'League Of Gentlemen' came along and brought racism into millions of homes.
BBC does have the most beautiful archive both tv and radio. ....

"How dare you accuse the BBC of being Ratings Conscious!" "Ratings Conscious?" "Transmitting bland garbage, M'Lud".

The theme tune for 'Yesterday's Men'🤣🤣

Good old Edward Teeth, the man responsible for the EU catastrophe, the three day week and bestowing an honour onto his friend , Jimmy Savile.
33:20 Now there's somebody we (eventually) got the truth about.
@Tilly Divine actually, it literally was from them
@Tilly Divine i mean that's a pretty big mischaracterisation but sure, go off

"while some see the '60s as the time when the good programmes stopped..." 1:10:28 lol, who? TV sucked until at least the '80s

The BBC news is rubbish now and was rubbish then.
