Episode 17 - Review of the Year: The Sights and Sounds of ‘71
Release Date: 1971-12-27If you worked in at UCS, or went on strike at the Post Office; if you waited for the sack at Rolls-Royce; if you can't understand decimals; if you used to read the Daily Sketch, or insured your car with the V & G; if you tried to follow the great debate, or missed out on your school milk - then this programme is about you. The rest of us lived through it all - Ibrox, Ulster, Europe, Etna, Rhodesia, Pakistan. Harold Wilson wrote a book - Ted Heath spoke French. Rudi Dutschke went home - Chay Blyth came home. Mao came in - Chiang went out. Arsenal the double - Trevino the treble. And Harvey Smith gave us the sign of the times.
