IN 1969, the BBC profiled Skinhead culture.
* What’s The Truth About Hells Angels and Skinheads is a BBC ‘Man Alive’ documentary from 1969. With Angels and Skins neck and neck in the contemporary Folk Devil stakes, presenter Harold Williamson decides to meet and talk with members of each group and, crucially, to speak to their parents, in order to find out what they’re really like. He does, and it makes for interesting viewing.
