- THE MUSIC, MEMORIES, AND MILESTONES (1930's)
The 1930's: The Music, Memories and Milestones is an exciting look at the thirties using original footage and music of the time. Those were the days of the Edward and Mrs Simpson scandal that began with the death of George V and ended in abdication. Those were the record breaking days when Jesse Owens made history in the 1936 Olympics beneath the disapproving eye of Adolf Hitler. Those were the days of the Big Band and Woody Herman's 'At the Woodchopper's Ball' and also of Jimmy Dorsey and the people's darling, Judy Garland. All this against a backdrop of hope and rebellion that saw the rise of fascism out of appalling worldwide depression. Look back at the 1930's and experience again the laughter, optimism, the hopes and the fears of that memorable decade!
- THE MUSIC, MEMORIES AND MILESTONES (1950's)
The 1950's: The Music, Memories and Milestones is an exciting look at the fifties using original footage and music of the time. Those were the days of the fashion revolution when shorter skirts, ankle socks, pony tails and of course blue jeans dominated the teenage scene. Those were baby boom days, as the world recovered from the war and relaxed into a period of prosperity. Those were the unforgettable days of Buddy Holly when Bill Haley Rocked Around the Clock. Those were the days when the world held its breath over Suez and America entered the Korean War. Those were record breaking days of the 6-minute mile, the first ascent of Everest and the launch of Sputnik I. Look back with nostalgia at the 1950's and remember them as they really were!
- THE MUSIC, MEMORIES AND MILESTONES (1940's)
The 1940's: The Music, Memories and Milestones is an exciting look at the forties using original footage and music of the time. Those were the fighting, bitterly optimistic days of World War II that took up half the decade with its battles lost and won, its glory and its enormous tragedies. It was the time of Churchill, Hitler, Roosevelt and Stalin, strong personalities in four parts of the world. Those were the days of Vera Lynn's 'We'll Meet Again' and 'White Cliffs of Dover', and of Glenn Miller, George Formby and Marlene Dietrich making music that would never be forgotten. Those were days of rationing and unemployment after the war, but also of rebuilding and hope that saw the Royal Wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten. The pageantry, glamour and romance did much to revive a spirit of optimism in a people exhausted by war. Look back at the 1940's and feel again the emotions that ran through the decade: the fear, hope, laughter and tears that made it such a memorable time.
- THE MUSIC, MEMORIES AND MILESTONES (1960's)
The 1960's: The Music, Memories and Milestones is an exciting look at the sixties using original footage and music of the time. This was the decade of the mini skirt and Carnaby Street, of Beatlesmania, 'The Beach Boys', 'Four Tops' and 'Chubby Checker's 'The Twist'. Those were the days of race riots when Martin Luther King championed civil rights in the USA but was shot dead at the peak of his career. Those were the optimistic days of the young J F Kennedy, which turned to shock and outrage when he was assassinated after only 3 years as president. Those were the Vietnam War days, and the tense days of the Berlin Wall. Those were the days too of flower power, as masses of students protested for peace. Those were the 'giant leap for mankind' days as Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit the earth, and then only 8 years later Neil Armstrong the first man on the moon. Re-live the decade and see that those really were the days!
