BBC Four - Why I Hate The Sixties August 9 2005
The myth of the 60s was created before the decade was out. But what we have lived with ever since is a mirage, a mass hallucination, a fantasy.
Why I Hate the Sixties examines the truth behind the myth. It suggests that we were living on borrowed time - we partied as Britain lost an empire and slid into unchecked industrial decline.
Archive footage and contributors of all political stripes build the case against the decade where dreams turned to nightmares…
The Charges
- Architecture:An obsession with modernity meant out with old and in with the damp-stained concrete, huge tower blocks and anonymous estates of rotting flats.
- Transport: Think the trains are bad now? Two thirds of the railway system was dismantled in the 1960s alone.
- Women's Liberation:Why did feminism grow in strength during the 1970s? Because women were turned into sex objects during the 60s. And the pill? It was not just to make women more available for men but that was its immediate effect.
- Multi-culturalism:Instead of embracing a new wave of immigration, we blew it. If you were black, the 60s were not the decade of peace and love, they were the decade of racism and Powellism.
- Music: The Beatles? The Rolling Stones? Forget about it. The best-selling single of the 60s was a slice of pungent cheese, Release Me by Englebert Humperdinck.
- Sport: England's World Cup victory is still celebrated as the pinnacle of the country's sporting success. But was it deserved? You'll have to watch the programme to find out...

Indeed.
The tower block phenomenon actually started in the late thirties, inspired by the Bauhaus movement. The theory was great but the cash was never made available to keep the structures and facilities maintained.
Yes, the railways were decimated by Beeching in the early sixties but what's that got to do with anything; the US also launched its war with Vietnam in the sixties but you can't blame the counter-culture for that either.
The sixties were the decade of awakening that laid a lot of the seeds for action against conservatism that we are still harvesting today: The feminist movement, the solidarity movements with so-called third world countries, the anti-authoritarianism among the youth that still persists. We could do with another round of such rebellion.
And who can forget the worldwide uprising of 1968 that changed the nature of global politics forever?
Hurrah for the 1960s!
