1963: MOCKUMENTARY PREDICTS the FUTURE of 1988 | Time On Our Hands | Past Predictions | BBC Archive
Russian moon landings, week long traffic jams, a workforce replaced by automation and above all, too much leisure time!
These are just some of the bold predictions made in Don Haworth’s 1963 BBC ’mockumentary’ Time on Our Hands - a remarkable film which projects the viewer a quarter of a century into the future.
Imagine how the futuristic inhabitants of 1988 - a society freed from the shackles of endless hard work - might reflect on the way people live and work in 1963. Its aim is to look back at the extraordinary, almost unbelievable, events of the intervening 25 years - referred to as ’the years of the transformation’.
“This Buoyant programme could be repeated a dozen times and still intrigue, delight and disturb me“
Dennis Potter, Daily Herald TV critic, 1963
This footage is compiled of excerpts from Time On Our Hands, a faux-documentary film by Don Haworth.
Originally broadcast 19 March, 1963.
