Clearly tongue in cheek but also a very lovely and personal take on progress in relation to the lives of everyday people. The singing and vocal arrangements are fantastic!

The M1 this year is 60.

This is about as British as it can be

How can one make a musical about Watford Gap without including the song Watford Gap by Manchester's poet laureate Roy Harper?
Clearly this project got away from the BBC.

This was a vibe but metro the musical is waaay better.

1959? The war had been over for 14 years... bless everyone involved in this.

The misery went on a bit after. It took a while for things to start looking up after having to lick all the wounds. Coal rationing had only ended the year before. And the war so messed up dairy production that non-cheddar cheese would be officially discouraged until the eighties! 😀

Should say 61
