Today in Britain 1964

Today in Britain 1964 Narrated by the journalist James Cameron, ’Today in Britain’ offers a snapshot of the United Kingdom in the year that Harold Wilson became Prime Minister on the back of his "white heat of technology" speech (although he never actually uttered that specific phrase). There’s much emphasis on Britain’s inventive genius, not just in the atomic era but also throughout its history, as seen here in this whistle-stop, partly-animated guided tour.
