Episode synopsis
As the 60s progressed, British cinema turned its attentions away from the class struggles of northern realist films and focused on the glamour of the capital as it crashed into the "permissive" era. Film-maker Richard Lester presents clips from the key "swinging London" films of the period including Darling starring Julie Christie, Michael Caine's Alfie, Morgan: a Suitable Case for Treatment, and Poor Cow. Terence Stamp, Rita Tushingham, Dirk Bogarde, Julie Christie, John Schlesinger, and Frederic Raphael are among those recounting the heady days of swinging cinema.
