You'll Never Be Sixteen Again

This was a documentary series originally broadcast on BBC Radio Four in late 1985 . Presented by Peel over seven episodes, it features music, radio and interview clips to tell the story of teenagers in Britain from the aftermath of the Second World War to 1985. Peel appears only to give a short introduction at the start of each programme and then to read the credits at the end. The series was repeated on BBC Radio One in November 1986 and again in October 1987 . The episodes are occasionally repeated on the BBC's digital channel 6Music .
