2024 ❤

Teenage freedom of expression was so new then. There was no examples for them to follow so they made the rules. Good on them.

The teenagers back then were tame in comparison to today's lot.

WOW ... if only they could have seen 50 years ahead to what we have now as a society they would have a heart attack ... these youngsters are like angels compared to now ... but having said that its easy to see that as each generation moves on to the next generation how its slipped away to what now is.

Wow ! The cross was so accurate it tore the fabric of time and space causing Highbury to turn into Stamford Bridge

How lovely, natural boys & girls with limited makeup & no plastic surgery in sight, the girls very ladylike & the chaps coy & well- spoken..lovely times back then

Excellent programme. Two things seem apparent to me: First, these teenagers from 1960 account for themselves so well in the way in which they speak, making salient points and using considered structured sentences. Their speech wasn't studded with 'you know' and 'I was like...' and 'so I said to her...' and general overuse of meaningless link words to cover up vacuousness communication. Second, parental attitudes haven't changed. I am 15 years further down the line and my parents were saying much the same in the 1970s, thinking that my values reflected the decay in society and that their generation and their lives as young people had been so much better (their generation had Hitler, Stalin and a world war which killed 60 million people. Literacy, health, life expectancy, social mobility were all incomparably worse). In any event, this is a TV programme well worth watching.

Fabulous history. Thanks. 👍🙂

I wish I could have been born any time before the 90s

When the baby boomers hit puberty together

The rich and educated, the master's.

Aaaaaaalbion.

I love the banter the 2 good ol boys are having about "£3 tousers" haha

These kids have a ton of style and taste. Cool to hear a bit of ol’ Lonnie Donegan’s music in this.

Teens don’t come out of bedrooms know playing video game 🎮

LOL wanting to be a plumber part of the lunatic fringe.

"Virginia is no good" All good advice retrospectively.

That girl on the thumb nail is a real beauti.😆

3:48 Ross, David Schwimmer, from 'Friends'.

They seem so much older than 14-17 year olds!

I'd like to have seen the son of the woman at 37:30 and heard his side of the story. I wouldn't be surprised if it was very different from what the woman is saying here.

Good old days when Anglo- Saxons ruled...

Boomers spoilt then, spoilt now

You would think this was in England with all the english accents....Like all the Iconic movies played by the British.

@3:50 Ross Geller looking hip

You know the papers used to mad at their outrageous behaviour even then LOL

They look so much more mature then todays teens and a lot more well behaved

Everybody was so sweet!!

This was the start of the end of white culture in Britain. When white youths started dancing to Black music we were finished.

Who loves Her Ladyship's RP accent?? Veddy Royal, indeed!

I was born in 1963 so the 70s was my teenage era and I had as much freedom as I wanted or needed, within limits of course, my parents believed in treating me and my older sister with trust and respect and it was a two way street, we respected their boundaries and paid the price for breaking them, I was taught to work hard and play hard, respect others and treat everyone the way I would want to be treated myself, I left school and joined the military, a family tradition that is still ongoing, joining up was the best thing I ever did, and the values my parents and grandparents instilled in me stood me in great stead, I never got into any trouble (well never got caught anyway) and brought my children up the same way as I was and they never have got into any trouble either, they got the same freedoms and boundaries as I did, I suppose the point I am trying to make is that if parents bring their children up with the same morals and values as I was then all teenagers, no matter when they are of that age, then society would be a far better place, teenagers today don’t (in general) get taught real morals and standards, parents are to busy working to earn the money needed to buy their children the “trappings” of modern society.

3 Jobs in 3 weeks, lol lucky to have one these days. They never had it so good.

Fascinating documentary 👍

I wonder if she has an only fans.

What really did change is what could be called the interface of the times but not the human nature. Indeed in the past things were somewhat more calm, wholesome, even innocent but that only in the way people appeared in society, that was what society accepted. Of course it does say something about mentality too, something indeed changed, but not to the extent some people like to think. It seems really immature to believe that people are somehow more marred today than they were in the past.

The questions the interviewer asked made me so glad the this time period is gone

These kids look like adult
