I was a teenager during the late sixties and it was a fantastic time to be alive as a young person. The fashion and makeup were so original and the music was great. I remember London as being a hub of colourful young people. Apparently it was chic to be British in those days.

@@davepeters3317 Certain eras are more special than others. I agree that we tend to romanticize our younger years, but this doesn't mean that every decade is the same. The 60s were indeed culturally original and vibrant. The liberalization of society begun then. There was economic growth. The arts, music, theater etc flourished.

I think you must have been listening to a different commentary than I was. As was traditional in 1967 the older generation were baffled and shocked by anything and anyone they didn't understand. The Puritan ethic still ran very deep mid-sixties Britain. Homosexuality wasn't legalised until 1967 and a broad sweep of the public was still strongly against legalisation. Therefore young men with flowers in their hair were considered a stepping stone towards sexual immorality.

A snapshot of a long-vanished period in English culture. Outside of London, it was still 1955. Jimi, Small Faces, Stones, Move Beatles, Who etc were brilliant. The charts were dominated by Ken Dodd, Engelbert Humperdinck, New Seekers, and other MOR acts. The image and the reality were two different things. Poignant to see Simon Dee at the height of his short-lived glory. He ended up as a bus driver for London Transport.

I remember the New Seekers. I believe they were put together by a member of the original Seekers from Australia. The New Seekers were okay I suppose. The two girl singers Eve Graham and Lyn Paul were pretty girls, but with mediocre talent and the same applies to the rest of the group. They were not a patch on the original Seekers who produced some brilliant songs. Their female singer, Judith Durham, had one of clearest, loveliest voices I have ever heard. This Australian group was beautiful and original and I remember feeling so sad when they broke up.

Roger Miller got into the act: "En-ga-lin swings like a pendulum do, bobbies on bicycles two by two..." Swinging London rivaled New York and Paris as the place to be in the mid-1960s. There's was fashionable Carnaby Street, Mary Quant, Twiggy and Britain's biggest export of all, the Beatles who proved themselves the top pop music innovators with Revolver and Sergeant Pepper. What a time! And it passed so quickly.

I wore the tunic when riding around Oxford on said scooter. It got a lot of attention, unfortunately, from local police who told me it was illegal to wear militart clothing. Got fed up with being pulled over, so I sold the tunic on and watched someone else chatting to plod! It was a fun time to around then.

Very enjoyable to watch this, 20 years after the end of the war a social change was bound to happen. 60s music, film, art and fashion was inventive and so much happened socially then with more women working for instance. London wasn't a barometer of the whole of the UK, many people still lived in poverty. This little film is fun to watch nevertheless. Personally I still reckon that the combined benefits of the washing machine and contraceptive pill did the most to improve lifestyles!

I was in my early teens at the beginning of the 60's and was so envious of people living in London where it appeared so exciting and the best place to be. Biba and Mary Quant were icons with models Jean Shrimpton and Patti Boyd. I think as new stuff comes along good behaviour seems to become lost. Nowadays a person wouldn't pick up litter after missing the bin , they would leave it on the ground. It would be great if we could pick out the best from each decade but that is too subjective and people would fight over different aspects

If you mean this current generation of people in their teens, yes you have no style of your own. It’s all a take-on or stolen from prior generations. The music is just 80’s synth with 90’s hip-hop and the clothing is “nerd” mixed with yuppie. I’m not old, but I have enough common sense to see this generation has zero originality. In fact, it’s not just this generation, but the one before it too. From the year 2000-present day, there are no stand out styles or decade defining attributes. Even in the early 90’s, they had a way of satirizing the 80’s and understood what defined that decade, and it was just five years before. But, if you try to do that today, look back at 2010, what defines that time? NOTHING… not a damn thing. People still look the same and dress the same, music is still the same. Your generation has no original ideas or style.

I must say I agree with those here who wish they could experience this world first hand. I guess the closest I ever came was Grateful Dead shows back in the early to mid 80's. I was born in '58, so I have some memory of the late 60's, but was a bit too young to really take part in what was going on. Sad to think how old those hippies are now if still alive. Heck, I'm getting up there myself.

So there it was from the very beginning: the two sides of the Boomers. One side was youthful self-indulgence and creativity. And the other was the drive for career and money. As youth faded and the creativity was exhausted, what was left was the drive for career and money... and self-indulgence.

My favorite decade ever ! People who were young during the 1960's (and especially in Britain) were so lucky. There's something so special about the 60s... People looked happier, healthy, dreamy,... Even childlike somehow (I'm saying this in a very good way). I love everything about this time, the music, the fashion, the lifestyle ! Also, I wish I could live in a world were people don't have cellphones, in a world where there is no internet but just human beings interacting with each other. I'm 22 but I'm trying my best to get rid of all those bad habits that reign everywhere now. By the way, I also notice that everyone was looking thin and healthy, not one overweight person in sight. I guess it's because people were much more active back then and weren't consuming junk food and such. Women had a small waist and were looking feminine and elegant. I will try my best to resemble them. Ugh, I'm being so nostalgic again...

It looks glamorous, and in many ways was; however, the reality for many was darker: There was tremendous inequality, many men earned very little in dangerous, dirty, or precarious employment, and women were paid even less. Women were expected to leave their jobs if they married, and were not permitted to do things we take for granted now, such as borrow money, rent a car or TV, without the written permission of a man. Advertisements for accommodation would openly state, "No dogs, no Irish, no blacks", and so on. The "rebellious" youth culture shown in this video was in some ways a protest against these bad old ways in society, and the grubby, grimy old Britain as much of it was then, as much as being an expression of youthful exuberance and new ideas.
