"A Year to Remember", the classic series that recalls the definitive events of the fifties and sixties, 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 the better part of a century. 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, 1965. The year had barely begun when Winston Churchill departed his tremendous life. The whole nation - indeed, the whole world - mourned the loss of this man who had so shaped the course of the Twentieth Century. There wasn't only bad news this year, though.The Queen had a successful visit to Africa, Gambia gained its independence, the great Martin Luther King marched for civil rights, and the ever-popular Beatles were showered with honours. 1965 was certainly a year to remember.
