=====================
Teenager Mitchell talks to his grandmother Jacki about the Mod culture she was a part of in the 1960s. We hear how Modernism was a break away from austerity, and how the music and fashion were funded by the plentiful supply of jobs available to young people without qualifications. Jacki takes Mitchell to a dancehall she used to go to, and describes her drastic bob-style hair and how her parents reacted to it. Mitchell looks in archive newspapers, and sees the huge array of jobs on offer at this time of 1% unemployment. He talks to warehouseman Dave about the scooter he bought with his earnings in 1966, the freedom it gave him and the trips he took to London to update his wardrobe on Carnaby Street. We hear how the later commercialisation of Mod culture made some young people turn away from it. Professor Keith Gildart University of Wolverhampton gives some academic theories about Modernism in the UK – that capitalism made youth rebellion less likely as they had more money, and could also have provided an alternative education to those who left school at 15.
This clip is from the BBC series Post War Britain. Six British 15-year-olds trace their own family history back to the post war period of the 1950s and 60s. They speak to both members of their own family and historians to discover what it was like living through this time of great change. With extensive use of archive footage and photos, Post War Britain vividly brings to life events such as the founding of the NHS, large-scale immigration and Mod culture.
