Key media reference points of the 1960s, including The Avengers, This Sporting Life, Panorama, The Apartment and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, are the focus of this book. Each chapter addresses common issues of contexts of production and reception, of genre, style and aesthetics and the book as a whole draws together the impressions of the era given by these windows on the sixties.
