Hippies (1999)

Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING, a podcast about British sitcoms. Join your hosts Tony Black & Robert Turnbull as they travel back to 1999 (or maybe 1969) to discuss Arthur Mathews' short-lived BBC sitcom, HIPPIES. Set at the end of the 60s, featuring Simon Pegg, Sally Phillips, Julian Rhind-Tutt & Darren Boyd as an assortment of middle-class hippies running a counterculture magazine, the series confronts many of the cliches of the era - fashion, hair, festivals etc... but whether it truly manages to bring it all to life is open to question. We try and find out. Host / Editor Tony Black Co-Host Robert Turnbull Find A.
