I made some notes about events in 1971 that I thought would stand out in people’s memories

I then narrowed them down to the one’s which would be the most practical to film

I also picked out some of the films and television programmes from the time and chose some of those

I decided that some of these would be stop-start

animation whilst others would feature in the

background

I made some sketches about how I would present each of the events/films/television

shows

A Clockwork Orange

Rolls Royce is nationalised

Russia lands a probe on Mars after a failed attempt

Postal Strike ends

Britain joins the European Community

Doctor Who Blue Peter burry a time capsule
