The 1960s in Britain were a time of deep contradiction and new freedoms, a decade caught between the old world of the post-war years and the promise of a modern, consumer age. Daily life was shaped by simple, nostalgic things – from the exotic taste of a Vesta curry from a box to the sound of pirate radio drifting from a transistor.

In this film, we’re rediscovering those forgotten treasures. We will explore how the first supermarkets and their Green Shield Stamps changed our lives, how new youth cults like the Mods and Rockers found their voice, and which sweets and snacks like Spangles and the Aztec bar defined a generation. These are the small details that tell the real story of what it meant to live back then.
