I can't say how much I value being my age, 57. I grew up and experienced a wholly different, analog world. And being the bridge generation (literally a one-off, by definition) I now thrive in the digital age. The best, again unfortunately unrepeatable, musical experimentation - not least in German Krautrock, and in Blighty, Eno's ambient revolutions. I still listen to records I bought more than 40 years ago, as has our daughter - now an adult. Age is not to be feared. Passive living is.
Loved every year in the 70s, the good the bad, the ugly, but mostly the joy of growing up without bloody restrictions that left us all to make up are own minds 🤔 think about it !! 🤷🏻♂️
Government housing tends to turn to a slum rather quickiy because the people living there have no pride of ownership or place. They didn't buy the homes themselves so the care is not there.
The 60s / 70's were days of hope, of possibility,. Ignore the cheap way capitalism co-opted the times....ugly clothes etc. Flower Power etc. There was REAL creativity. Just the way great dance halls and night clubs get over run by people trying to be cool so that the truly cool people are forced to move on.... Commerce obliterated the honest and authentic richness of the time.
70s Britain was a sh-thole. The one thing we were good at, had been good at and still are good at is music. In fact our track record over the past 65/70 years is stratospheric
i was born in rural Ireland in 72 and arrived in London in 89. london was a great city back then. lots of opportunities and jobs. i worked lots of jobs and when i had enough cash i would travel the world. it was cheap to fly from london to almost anywhere.
Violence and vandalism, coupled with brute force hi-rise architecture. Most people benefit from living in a village like environment, in a "tribe" like atmosphere. When you know everybody you are less inclined to do "blind" vandalism on them.
Growing up in the 70s was fantastic - except that my grammar school refused to submit to going comprehensive and so closed, meaning as I went through there was no new intake. Sad. Smart children need to be allowed to race ahead, not be held back for the dumbest who will never catch up.
Thank you very much for access to this documentary. I have been searching for this for years. Do you have access to the earlier episodes? I would be delighted to see them. I’m very sorry I didn’t record them at the time. Thank you
I just checked this and the actual fact is that Barrett's estimate that more Indians own property in London than English (with Pakistanis in 3rd place). This does not mean that Indians onw the most property in terms of land or square metres - the Norman barons such as the Duke of Westminster still own huge estates in the richest parts.
The wicked person is loooong gone … false as hell not an intellectual, but a puppet strung up by the power of the elite capitalist so called politicians . The beginning of the end of this century of TOTAL successful manufacturing, and the Worlds finest car ship coal building industries the World has ever seen. All built on generations of working class people’s life’s. Of which sacrifices were made and loyalty was a life times commitment for those family generations . This Country has been descending into misery ever since . Prove me wrong … you can’t because I am telling you what you have witnessed yourselves .

Market Socialism or Social Market Capitalism was practised by both parties during the post-war period. Even, the Tories didn't stop intervening in the economy, which created massive inefficiencies, high bouts of inflation, and lower productivity. The UK was largely suffering due to the poor execution and planning of the income policy at the microeconomic level.
I hope I'm not missing the obvious, if I am then I apologise in advance, but what was this series called? So that I might look for other episodes. Can anyone help?
It was simply called, 'The 70s' and originally shown in 4 parts in 2012 Episode 1: Get It On, 70-72 Episode 2: Doomwatch, 73-74 Episode 3: Goodbye Great Britain, 75-77 Episode 4: The Winner Takes It All, 77-79 'The 80s with Dominic Sandbrook' (2016, 3 episodes) is also great, if you can find it.
Omission of what? And what would be the point of propagandising Thatcher she's been out of power for over 20 years at that point. It's hardly hyping she did win the 79 election for as Sandbrook points out "good or ill".
@@davidlamb7524 There’s a reason why Margaret Thatcher won the 1979 election and it wasn’t a documentary by Dominic Sandbrook - it was because Labour lost control of the unions and the unions lost control of their members.

Oh to go back to the 70s - no Internet, no mobile phones, no e-scooters, no socialist TV programmes - wonderful!
No internet, no youtube
There were quite a few socialists around the the 70s….

not always.
depends on what scumbags live in them. there are still some beautiful council houses out there but not in the fakeugee ghettos
@@mikewatt8706 yes, you need a better class of scumbag for public housing to work properly
The 70s were good for me
The blue box is annoying

Why was everyone so in a hurry during the 70s?

I bought my council house for 29.000 thank you Maggie
Usual patronising rubbish from the BBC.
The Foundations was a diverse group in the late 60s, ten years ahead of The Specials.
And the Equals

Superb music selections on this.
today in london Indian people own most property.

Branson used daddy's cash to start off.
Gosh. Hyson Green. My relatives lived on Maple St and Gregory Boulevard.
Te 70s were fantastic- people who didn't experience it cannot imagine what it was like. Pity Thatcher took it ALL from us.
The 90s were better, so nope it was Blair

I can the lad at 11.20 being a middle aged man today complaining about delinquent youth.
So... How does it feel to be on the receiving end!?! :D
Thatcher Killed The 70's...The 3 best words that came from the 1970's were D I Y ........

70s long hangover of the 60s
Born in 1957 with older brothers and sista's and my favorite but most turbulent times....total chaos
‘…and in the forefront was this SMALL West Midlands club, West Bromwich Albion’
Spoken like a true Wolves fan Dominic.
Branson was kicked out of Stowe because of this magazine. It was taking up too much of his time.

So the SNP was actually a Nationalist Party at one stage.
Now they complain there's too many Scots in Scot Land
Rabid Tory propaganda
Or just Reality!!!
@@nodrama7264No it is pure propaganda. As much by omission of details as hyping up Thatcher.
Yeah it's really not, it fairly reasonably balanced lightweight documentary.
