Intriguing - bound to be worth a listen. I'm tempted to question any of those as actually being part of the counter culture, although arguably they might once have been, I suppose. |

I think he just chose to interview his favourite famous contacts of a certain age, tbh. They were all, at very least, witnesses. Jules |

I'm always wary of another programme about the era. Rehash, oversimplify, generalise and basically tell us what we already know is the rule with these programmes. It's not a bad programme for that time of day, but so far, 5 minutes in, going for food shopping has proved more attractive. |

I'm surprised if that's the case - Stewart is normally much more interesting than that. About everything. I'll see what I think sometime in the next few days... |

Y know i may be just being old and grumpy. I hope it shapes up. Radio 4 is a lifeline for me sometimes and i do want the quality to hold. The documentary about hiroshima last week was very good. |
