1964...and the world was still reeling from the assassination of John F Kennedy. Racial tensions continued in the southern states of the USA and tension was rising elsewhere as the conflict in Vietnam escalated.
But it was also the year of the Tokyo Olympics, The Blue Streak, Donald Campbell and Radio Caroline.
There was music from not only the Fab Four, but Dusty, Manfred Mann and the Beach Boys.
And on TV, we saw a surge in the poularity of Steptoe and The Avengers and a phenomenon known as Dalekmania.
Ladies and gentlemen, Rainbow Valley is proud to present the story of the Hits and Headlines of 1964.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
