1967

Episode 17 of 50

Jeremy Vine introduces 1967, the year of Swinging London, Flower Power and the launch of Radio 1. The Beatles played to a worldwide audience and The Rolling Stones were in court.

Radio 2's audio journey through five decades reaches 1967. Jeremy Vine introduces a collage of the music, news, people and programmes - as they were heard at the time - without any commentary, analysis, or hindsight.

1967 is the year when the government shuts down pirate radio and Tony Blackburn launches the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's replacement service on 247 metres. The Beatles play All You Need Is Love to a worldwide audience and the other big TV stars are Dr Finlay, Simon Dee, The Monkees and The Prisoner.

The Rolling Stones are in court, but tourists are flocking to Carnaby Street and Swinging London. It's also the year of devaluation, Bonnie & Clyde and flower power.
