Wow, I really appreciated seeing Lee Bender wearing her 1970's Bus Stop designs, the shop, red delivery van, workshop and seamstresses. Nice to know she had such an open mind. I also liked Linda Blandford's cream dress. Thank you.
I LOVED how the "young people rejecting materialism" all had utterly boarding school accents. Not many working class people. They'd never had the luxury of experiencing this materialism they'd heard so much about, let alone rejecting it. Far too busy just trying to scrape by in bloody awful housing with even worse few sticks of so called furnishings..
Indeed, isn't it a sad testament to how terrible television has become these days compared to the quality of this series. Quite criminal to have wiped it all.
In my considered opinion, this BBC Two documentary actually looks very similar to one of those Open University lectures, that the BBC, once, used to regularly air during the 1970s.
I used to watch the OU Arts programmes even before I studied with them. The 19th Century Novel and its Legacy was one of the best series they did on the OU.
I was 13 when this came out. I didn't realise how nicely people spoke then...but I certainly miss it now. At this rate, we will be back to grunts in another 50 years.
Deeply spiritual on one hand, far too much time and privilege on the other, a fascinating look back at a time and place these folks themselves lost us with their disconnect from the local and fetishisation of the exotic
So sad that the first season is gone it's such insanity to wipe a wonderful series like this, these 28 minutes alone are culturally worth more than what the BBC has produced in the last 30 years, it really demonstrates so well how low all substance in television has fallen in 50+ years. I wonder whatever became of the very lovely Miss Blandford.
I think the policeman is Constable Peter Goldsmith - found dead in bushes on the Sussex Downs on December 2 1972, six months after he disappeared from his home in Steyning, 3 miles away. The West Sussex coroner Francis Haddock said the evidence suggested Goldsmith might have killed himself, but the cause of death was unknown.

A lot better than today tv. Watching this on utube disposed of my TV 10 years ago
me too:)
@@PitchSkullBlackhe's not wrong though..
It's a great series, impossible to compare it to the utter superficial garbage on TV nowadays.
If Lee Bender was getting "advice" from a medium, her stores going into bankruptcy is much much easier to understand.

Oh my goodness. That's beautiful piece of stuff. So important and very deeply touched every part of it.

It seems very local and non materialistic based. No idea where you're coming from.

If you have other part of it , which shares about prediction
So did they find the policeman's body?

Good question, they were to follow up on it in later episodes now sadly wiped by the insane BBC.
Dowsing is freaking insane
This was GREAT to see. In the description, could you please reference Linda Blandford who also presented with Colin Wilson here? Thank you!
Do you know where to find the episode about the Rosenheim Poltergeist?

Clearly a lot more "poncee" education wouldn't have gone amiss.
Very 70s style documentary. Posh speaking presenters.
