That's a good point, and I think A Hard Day's Night needed those predecessors. You also had Coronation Street starting in 1960.
So maybe the focus should be on the BBC and the impact The Beatles had with their Saturday sessions and then with Lennon reading his poetry on arts programmes and so on, then Cilla piggybacking on that? Profumo Affair exposing the decadence of the ruling class was also important, although I'm not sure Harold Wilson was more of a class leveller than Atlee culturally despite the White Heat of Technology discourse.
