Nostalgia

I have been watching the BBC Parliament Channel's retrospective on Harold Wilson, a man who played a prominent part in my Sixties consciousness. This not too serious TV programme is a delight to my generation. Give it a try, if you are over 50, or even if you are not.

  2. Surely the worst prime minister of the 20th century, and yes, I am over 50, even 60 !

  3. Good until Mike Yardwood came on with his embarrassingly bad impressions.

    Strange to see a show where the interviewer smokes a pipe and one of the guests smokes a cigar. That was also the era when every evening show had to have a musical interlude.

  4. Just a small thing

    I can remember to this day, watching on television as Wilson's train arrives at a still uncompleted Euston Station, as he returned to London from his Huyton constituency. He was accompanied by the BBC political correspondent John Morgan, (a Welshman). I must admit that I was glad then than Wilson had won over the awful Alec DH, a real Tory chinless wonder. Wilson totally squandered his prize. What a let down he was !
