Preview - The Good Old Days

As Bob Dylan famously sang 'The times they are a changing' - it was a call of hope and optimism which echoed the giant strides the civil rights and equality movements were making. It was a message that didn't reach the BBC or large swathes of the British people because The Good Old Days was a hugely popular hour of escapism throughout the 1970s and 80s. I never quite understood why, at a time when there were three TV channels (Channel 4 didn't arrive until the mid-80s), this show could eat an hour out of BBC One's primetime schedule.

The esteemed National Theatre of Brent presents the first in an occasional series charting the lives of cultural giants of our time. First up is legendary, and indeed iconic, singer Bob Dylan. Artistic director Desmond Olivier Dingle and his entire company (Raymond) tell the story of how the young Robert Zimmerman left his home in Hibbin, Minnesota, and travelled to the folk clubs of New York in search of his hero Woody Guthrie. Once there he became Bob Dylan - taking his name from a book in Joan Baez's apartment: Dylan Thomas the Tank Engine - and adopted the life of a bohemian and fledgeling icon. It's an emotionally charged moment when our icon finally meets Guthrie and receives some salutary words of advice: "take off the stupid little hat, Bob".
