The excellent Emmy-nominated documentary The Sixties, which began on Sunday night on SBS, has a second episode tonight: “The British Invasion.”
This ten-part CNN series produced by Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Mark Herzog tonight looks at a British music domination of America during he 1960s.
The lads from Liverpool led a musical cultural exchange that impacted everything from fashion to sexual mores to politics. Graham Nash, Smokey Robinson, Dave Clark, Michelle Phillips, and Mickey Dolenz recall what it was like to make the music that mirrored the souls of the young and the restless. Jann Wenner, Nelson George, David Wild, Tom Hanks, and Mikal Gilmore describe how The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Dave Clark Five, The Animals, The Who, and others reinterpreted and reintroduced American music to Americans.
Tuesday, 16 September at 7.30pm SBS ONE.

The presentation of the JFK assassination on Sunday night’s episode was quite something – replaying the coverage in (almost) real time, and highlighting how details varied from coverage to coverage. I hadn’t seen that before. It was also remarkable to see reporters and news readers smoking cigarettes whilst on air.
