In recent weeks I have been thoroughly enjoying catching up with old 1960s cult tv. I’m not naturally a tv watcher as such so it came rather as a surpirse to me in fact when I realised my tv subscription service offered all these fab old shows. apart from the glorious fashions of the day, the cars and state of the art technology is simply the most wonderful social history lesson out there.
Looking at the staged sets for the inside of houses, especially in swinging London. The designs for furniture and room decoration are staggeringly awful and it is easy to see how we have evolved to the beautiful and safe houses we have today. Thanks to the expertise of dedicated designers, constructors and planners who are much more concerned with achieving quality over quantity and and eye for attractive housing developments instead of rows and rows of bulk standard but ugly council houses.
