City '68: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

City '68  was a anthology drama set in the fictional, bustling Lancashire city of Fylde. Supposedly located on the north bank of the River Ribble—geographically nestled between Preston and Blackpool—Fylde was imagined as a massive industrial hub home to over three-quarters of a million residents. The series used this fictional backdrop as a microcosm to explore the emerging social, economic, and personal conflicts of late-1960s urban British life.
