Clive Garrard… Nigel Hinton was my English teacher at school. He told me that when they were filming in a rough area of Hastings children and youths were throwing bricks at the film crew whilst filming. They had to bring in a security company because of this

Sid Saunders… A lot of it was filmed on Quebec Road in Hollington.

Graham L. Hall… Saw & enjoyed it.. but missed the last episode !! Wish they would repeat it It was good

Paul Crimin… Was that the Clarence? Think so.

Mark Rodrigues… yes

Tim Moose Bruce… My late sister did the costumes for this series. I lent a pair of black leather motorbike gloves, genuine 60s era ones, to be worn by Roger Daltrey.

Stuart Moir… Still see the old cricket ground that used to flood on spring tides

 

The Joy Of The Single – BBC & what was your first singles.

Do you remember buying your first single? Where you bought it? What it was? The thrill of playing it for the first time? What it sounded like? How it maybe changed your life? Lots of us do. Lots of us still have that single somewhere in a dusty box in the attic, along with other treasured memorabilia of an adolescence lost in music and romance. The attic of our youth.

The Joy of the Single is a documentary packed with startling memories, vivid images and penetrating insights into the power of pop and rock’s first and most abiding artefact – the seven inch, vinyl 45 rpm record; a small, perfectly formed object that seems to miraculously contain the hopes, fears, sounds and experiences of our different generations – all within the spiralling groove etched on its shiny black surface, labelled and gift-wrapped by an industry also in its thrall.

In the confident hands of a star-studded cast, the film spins a tale of obsession, addiction, dedication and desire. The viewer is invited on a journey of celebration from the 1950s rock n roll generation to the download kids of today, taking in classic singles from all manner of artists in each decade – from the smell of vinyl to the delights of the record label; from the importance of the record shop to the bittersweet brevity of the song itself; from stacking singles on a Dansette spindle to dropping the needle and thrilling to the intro.
