Legendary DJ Tony Blackburn and sixties Pop Princess Cilla Black look at the Great British Songbook of the 60s. Over three hours, Tony and Cilla take a trip down memory lane as they play the best British songs from this decade, including suggestions from Radio 2 listeners. With a playlist that includes the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Cliff Richard and Dusty Springfield they reflect the work of some of Britain's greatest songwriters and share their own memories from the 60s.
