Wednesday 23 September 2026, 7 p.m. · 61 minutes

Deep Into the Sixties, the latest instalment in David Kynaston’s ‘Tales of a New Jerusalem’ series, covers the short but intense period between Churchill’s death and England’s footballing triumph at the World Cup. As a social historian, Kynaston is unrivalled in his masterful handling of a diverse range of sources, including diaries, newspaper reports and historical archives.

Kynaston was in conversation with Alison Light, author of Red, Red Robin, A Radical Romance and Common People.
