Brexit: Why did Britain's 1963 bid to join the EEC fail? | Our History

Описание: On the anniversary of Britain's referendum to leave the E.U, we look back at their first application to join the European Community in 1963. History in Action, broadcast in 1994, travels back in time using archive footage, radio broadcasts and a reconstructed debate to take a closer look at the tense negotiations.

History when viewed with hindsight has an aura of inevitability it seems that what actually happened had to happen. This new series of educational programmes looks back to key events of the 20th century history without the benefit of hindsight, and examines the reaction to these events as they actually occurred. History In Action uses original material including newspaper headlines, photographs, archive films and even cartoons and music-hall songs to give a contemporary flavour to these important happenings. The object is to give the same feelings of immediacy, of today's news, that is generated by Granada's long-running current affairs series World in Action.

This film was first broadcast: 1994
