Timeshift,
Series 14 Episode 1 of 7
Duration:
1 hour
A trip back
to the days when 'style wars' were just that - violent confrontations about the
clothes you wore. Spring 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the bank holiday
'battles of the beaches', when hundreds of mods and rockers flocked to seaside
resorts on scooters and motorbikes in search of thrills and spills.
Timeshift
tells the story of how this led to violence, arrests and widespread concern
about the state of British youth. But mods and rockers had more in common than
was first obvious - they were the first generation of baby boomers to reach
their teenage years at a time when greater prosperity and wider freedoms were
transforming what it meant to be young.
