The story of Britain in the 1950s, told using newsreel footage and advertisements interspersed with events such as the Coronation in 1953, the conquering of Everest, the four-minute mile and the tragic Munich Air Disaster. From newfangled household gadgets to Elvis Presley and the birth of Rock'n'Roll, seaside holidays to the opening of the M1, this programme chronicles the decade that prompted Prime Minister Harold McMillan to tell the people of Britain: 'You've never had it so good'.
