Hello and welcome to the third episode of 'Good Vibrations'. Thank you so much for joining me on this exciting expedition through the swinging sixties.

On today's episode we are exploring the working class entertainers, the cultural aristocracy and its relationship with drugs. Plus, we will be asking, was LSD really that popular with the youth of the 60s. Were teenagers constantly high or is it another flower power myth? Along the way we will visit the V&A, talk to David Kynaston and hear interviews from a wide range of people old and new.

I hope you enjoy the episode!

My deepest thanks to David Kynaston.
