Sex, Chips and Poetry: 50 Years of The Mersey Sound

 In 1967, the same year that The Beatles released Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, fellow Liverpudlians Roger Mcgough, Brian Patten and Adrian Henri took the spoken-word revolution started by the Beat Poets and transformed it into something uniquely British. This richly deserved tribute documentary, narrated by Isy Suttie, celebrates the 50th anniversary of their work on The Mersey Sound, one of the best-selling poetry anthologies of all time. GT
