N2  - In 1956 the Suez Crisis finally shattered the old myths of the British Empire and paved the way for the changes of the decades to come. Dominic Sandbrook discusses the dramatic story of affluence and decline between 1956 and 1963. Other events discussed are the criticism of the Queen, which led to her switch from radio to television for her annual broadcast, the Christine Keeler scandal, the advent of the James Bond flims and the Dr Who series
