Summer in the Sixties
BBC Four mounts a season on the swinging decade.
This summer BBC Four is teaming up with Tate Britain for its biggest and most ambitious season of programming to date as the channel turns the clock back to the 1960s.
The channel has a varied selection of programmes lined up, mixing documentary, music, cinema, archive and discussion.
BBC Four Controller Roly Keating says:"Summer in the Sixties is all about looking at where we are today through the prism of that most creative, turbulent and influential of decades."
Highlights will include I Hate the Sixties which will examine whether the Sixties are the root of many of today's social problems.
The Truth About Sixties TV will directly challenge the notion of the 1960s as the golden age of television.
In Round the Horne... Revisited, one of the great Sixties comedy series comes to TV for the first time in an exclusive version of the hit stage show.
Art and the 60s - a new series and exhibition about artists such as David Hockney who were outraging conventional taste 20 years before the likes of Damien Hirst and co.
