Vive La Révolution! Joan Bakewell on May ’68
10pm, BBC Four
“Be reasonable – demand the impossible” was one of the rallying cries of the Situationists, one of the forces behind the protests against capitalism and imperialism that took place in 1968. Revolution briefly seemed possible in May, when France was brought to a standstill by a general strike, demonstrations and sit‑ins. Joan Bakewell, someone with more than a passing recollection of that era, looks back at an insurrection that momentarily shook the globe. David Stubbs
