My earliest memory is actually of a late 60s British TV series shown on the ABC (equivalent of BBC) called Take Three Girls (with wonderful theme music by Pentangle). This lead to a life-long appreciation of British drama, both on TV and in film (and an aversion to the commercial networks and their ubiquitous American content - a few favourite U.S. Sixties/early Seventies films and TV series nothwithstanding).

Although not an adult at the time, I wouldn't have missed living through the Sixties for anything. This, for me, is Britain's golden film and TV decade but, obviously, they continue to excel in producing quality, entertaining, believable TV drama and some films (Britain's film industry, too, has occasionally, sadly, fallen victim to populism). The Americans just don't do "believable". The Sixties Zeitgeist is but a memory though.

A nostalgia trip, for me, is especially rewarding for revealing early glimpses of those film and TV luminaries who went on to bigger and better things (just look at the guest cast lists of some of the early ITV "Cult TV" series, for example).
