Preview: 1959 - A Panorama Guide

In 1959, Britain was coming to the realisation that the old world was fast disappearing. The age of Empire was ebbing away and attitudes to class, race and gender were beginning to shift too.

Television was entering a golden age and one programme recorded the birth of modern Britain like no other - Panorama.

1959: A Panorama Guide looks at this fascinating year through the eyes of Panorama.

1959: A Panorama Guide - March 27 at 8pm on BBC Four.
