Blimey, there’s plenty of great stuff to choose from here again, isn’t there?
I don’t know what your hit rate is like, but I’ve probably seen two-thirds of them and having read up briefly on the rest, I’m keen to see the others too.
Massive thanks again to everyone who took the time to get involved and make suggestions, and I’ll hope to see you all again next week for the 1960s!
