[TheThrillseeker01]

Epic fail to the guy with the grunge beard ",Eng"is a great singer!!

[IamthePopeRome]

This movie is wonderful.

[crackmonster99]

No news here if you're on the left you typically like the 60's but if you're on the right you hate them. It's the same for the UK and US alike.

[1a1a2s3d4f5g]

Hahaha, I am not and was never a hippie. Actually, I hate hippies. And am NOT a communist. Why do you keep saying I'm a communist? My God! This documentary is wrong on so many levels. First and foremost, it's one sided. I have only one word to say: propaganda.

[cheesehoven]

@1a1a2s3d4f5g I can agree it is one-sided, but it a deliberate antidote to the endless pop culture sixties-worship being regurgitated by baby boomers on a daily basis.

[Recordbhoy]

@1a1a2s3d4f5g It's not propaganda , it's actually very truthful ..you must be a sixties moron

[NihilNominis]

@1a1a2s3d4f5g It has a position.  That does not make it propaganda.

[burtonrules123]

*CLAP CLAP CLAP* thanks God for this documentary! that was really good, exposing that time period and showing it for what it realy was. SO much damage was caused during that time, and the culture it created is still being felt today. just terrible.

[cheesehoven]

You don't seem to have grasped the essence of the documentary, that in the 60s irresponsibility was rebranded as "liberation" and we are living with the consequence of that today.

[1a1a2s3d4f5g]

This documentary is worse than Adolf Hitler. What a monstrosity. This is political and very ideological piece of garbage and propaganda which basic notion is: it's better to live in today's materialism than in sixties hedonism.

[burtonrules123]

@1a1a2s3d4f5g someone is a dirty hippie. go back and smoke your weed and keep thinking communism can work leftist prick.

[NW1977]

@burtonrules123

Wow. A so call Christian calling people name & making up lies about someone, especially when he didn't trash you. How can you call yourself a Christian but judge others when only God is suppose to do that?? You're a poor excuse of a Christian & isn't a true one. If you're a Christian, stop being a hate monger, 'cause Jesus didn't taught hate monger idiot like you to hate people. You can disagree without being mean & name calling people. Christian you aren't, Peter Tancordo.

[deltapunk21]

what communist propaganda 2 million homeles wtf more like 50,000

[marshallart100]

@deltapunk21 you are really a silly person...trying to correct a figure you believe to be wrong with another that is obviously miles off.....any clown who remembers the 60,s as anything other than pure crap was either on something or was an idiot without discernment or one of the rip off bastards who conned them all.Anyway deltapunk ??? bet you don,t understand the word communist,no,you obviously don,t.

[hatechinaandbuda]

british will never say good of something american all those shits will go all those structure will be destroyed but jimmy hedris and rock and roll is gonna live forever

[acmedressform]

I think they drink bitter gall for breakfast.

[acmedressform]

These commentators are so sneering and arrogant... ugh

[Jack72824]

@acmedressform Especially the insistent, hectoring tone of the narrator, Chris Langham. And David Aaronovitch's pecksniffian disdain for Engelbert Humperdinck and Rolf Harris is, to say the least, hypocritical.

[burtonrules123]

@acmedressform actually you are the ignorant and arrogant one lefty loser.

[acmedressform]

@burtonrules123 I am not a lefty dunkopf.

[acmedressform]

Well what happened to that Yugoslavian country eh? The British must have been doing something right.

[Vebinz]

@acmedressform

I don['t think that was the point. The point was to show how even a Communist nation saw some things wrong in the UK.

[jonobrow]

This got a bit shit towards the end. Shame because the first 20 minutes or so were really strong and eye-opening.

[OniLunchbox]

Why do I love watching buildings collapse so...

[rickelmonoggin]

I think that Yugoslavian documentary was less ridiculous than this one.

[rickelmonoggin]

"Walking around London today there are terrible scarred survivors of that culture and of course a lot of them are dead now"

lol!

[IDrinkYourMilkshake8]

Credits - the Voice "Chris Langham"? As in the guy out of The Thick of It?

the 50's were the best decade anyway.

[burtonrules123]

@IDrinkYourMilkshake8 agreed, i love the 50's, before the 60's came and ruined everything.

[snowfield667]

@burtonrules123 The 60s were the decade that caused unemployment. The 50s were crap too but since we had suffered through the war and were recovering, it was acceptable. The 60s just fucked everything up and the reason we're in a bad state now is because of what happened back then.

[sgtmcwallace]

the credits are hilarious

[contrafib]

Good doc and wouldn't disagree with much except that the music only warranting less than a minute of the programme is because it doesn't fit their hypothesis. Yes, there were bad records and comedy records, but the decade that produced The Beatles, Stones, Bob Dylan, The Who, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Cream, Janis Joplin, The Band, Floyd, Velvet Underground, Byrds, Doors et al.. can't be argued with musically. Overall though, Britain wasn't different in the 60's, only in isolated areas

[cheesehoven]

@contrafib I agree. The makers were so intent to bash everything about the 60s that they did put in some weak material which undermined their good arguments elsewhere.

[TwoMunchuTwo]

@contrafib Can't be argued with musically? The sixties were kids puncturing the hull of the vessel they were in, then frolicking and showering in the burst of water that flowed into the vessel.

[Uuqaakh]

I don't suppose anyone knows where I can see more of that Yugoslav documentary at the beginning of this clip, or at least find out more about it??

[cheesehoven]

@Uuqaakh

Sorry I don't but I'd be interested to see it myself.
