I have spent the last few years exploring several programmes, each of which has given me a different glimpse into an era long before my birth. I am fascinated by the window on a world that is slightly familiar, but not quite. It feels within touching distance.
Though not planned, I found myself watching a number of 1960s' shows and there are some I have come to really love. Inspired by the now-defunct TV Minus 50 blog, I spent a month in 1968 and, having thoroughly enjoyed it, decided to spend a lot more time in the decade.
I'm spending a week with each year's telly - this week, that year. As I don't possess an actual time machine, there are a few limits on what is available for me to watch - I may not always get to see the exact episode from that day - but, hopefully, there should be something watchable every day.
You can find all my time travelling adventures over at Transdiffusion's My 1960s.
