- Synopsis:
"A Year to Remember", the classic series that recalls the definitive events of the 20th Century, compiles contemporary news coverage drawn from the world-famous British Pathe archive. Pathe News set the standard for cinematic journalism, keeping audiences both informed and entertained for nearly six decades.This programme does the same for a new generation and details not only the major political issues that dominated the day, but also key social changes and cultural trends. This hour-long episode chronicles that remarkable year, 1950. This was the year in which Clement Attlee's Labour government narrowly won another term, though its hold on power would not last for long; the royals welcomed Princess Anne into the family; Queen Juliana of the Netherlands paid us a visit; and Britain's de Havilland comet made aviation history. It was also a year dominated by the crisis in Korea; when the communist forces of North Korea crossed the border with its southern neighbour, the 38th parallel, it signalled the beginning of a war which ultimately cost the lives of millions. 1950 was certainly a year to remember. - Actors:
