(xp) Yeah, bit of cheating going on there I think by the Beeb

Four minute mile was 1954 so that should really be after Macmillan if it is in chronological order (that is Roger Bannister running four minute mile isn't it)

Placing Moptop era Beatles getting of a plane after the 66 World Cup and Swinging London seems and odd choice

And "You've never had it so good" was after the 4 minute mile (and I doubt that's on film anyway)

I've had an irrational hatred of Roger Bannister since the induction day at my current job included a speech about how prior to 1954 no-one had ever run a four minute mile and doctors said it was impossible, and then after Bannister like six people managed it in the next decade or something because of self belief and positive thinking, the gist being that if we thought management was setting unrealistic targets for us we should suck it up and work harder.
