Über die phantastischste Sixties-Band, von der Sie noch nie gehört haben! In der Londoner Psychedelic-Szene der späten Sixties finden sich Folksängerin Elf Holloway, Bluesbassist Dean Moss, der Gitarrenvirtuose Jasper de Zoet and der Jazzdrummer Griff Griffin und erschaffen zusammen einen einzigartigen Sound. Dies ist die Geschichte von Utopia Avenues kurzer, rasanter Reise, von den kleinen Clubs in Soho und den englischen Provinzkäffern bis nach Amerika – gerade als der Sommer der Liebe etwas viel Dunklerem weicht.

Sechs Lebenswege, die sich unmöglich kreuzen können: darunter ein amerikanischer Anwalt, der um 1850 Ozeanien erforscht, ein britischer Komponist, der 1931 vor seinen Gläubigern nach Belgien flieht, und ein koreanischer Klon, der in der Zukunft wegen des Verbrechens angeklagt wird, ein Mensch sein zu wollen. Und dennoch sind diese Geschichten miteinander verwoben. Mitchells originelle Menschheitsgeschichte katapultiert den Hörer durch Räume, Zeiten, Genres und Erzählstile und liest sich dabei so leicht und fesselnd wie ein Abenteuerroman.

Over the course of the series, David eats his lunchtime sandwiches with children in a primary school and later goes to a street market to see manners - good and bad - in action. He explores where our manners come from with Professor Steven Pinker from Harvard University and the author Henry Hitchings. What do we mean by 'civility' and 'good manners' in public places? Why are people still pinching vicars' bottoms, and what can the state do to improve standards of public behaviour? And, David asks, how is the digital age changing our sense of public space?
