1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,920 For a kid growing up in the 1960s, life felt electric. 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:10,440 The world felt limitless, and everything seemed possible. 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:18,920 In July 1969, the world watched as Apollo 11 landed on the moon. 4 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,400 What we're? Going to do right here is go 5 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:51,040 back way back back into time. In July 1969, the world watched 6 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,640 as Apollo 11 carried humanity into the impossible. 7 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,880 Commander Neil Armstrong and Lunar Module pilot Buzz Aldrin 8 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,120 touched down on the moon, and when Armstrong stepped onto the 9 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,200 lunar surface, history itself changed direction. 10 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,680 For the first time, the impossible became real. 11 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:19,320 Not in books, not in films, not in imagination, but in front of 12 00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:38,080 our eyes. The rising, rising cost of love 13 00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:41,320 it's costing. Me. 14 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,560 It's costing me, it's costing you, it's costing you. 15 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,200 It's hard to keep it like it's started. 16 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,200 It hurts so bad when the hurts are parted. 17 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:07,760 Heaven knows I tried to gut it. I tried hard. 18 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:13,920 Everything I sacrifice. But it don't be the rising, 19 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,000 rising cost of love. It's costing me. 20 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:29,200 It's costing me, costing you the rising, rising, rising, rising 21 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,960 cost of love lost to me. It's costing me. 22 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:44,480 It's costing you. In my mind you hold your special 23 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:50,640 place. Memories I don't care to erase. 24 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,560 Signs of love. And a smile on your face. 25 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:07,200 Now there's a frown in his play. The rising, rising cost of love. 26 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:16,000 It's costing me, it's costing me, it's costing you, it's 27 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,920 costing you. The rising, rising cost of love. 28 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:29,560 It's costing me. No way. 29 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:44,780 It's costing you. 30 00:03:44,780 --> 00:03:47,620 No way. There must be something we can 31 00:03:47,620 --> 00:03:54,900 do to solve this problem between me and you. 32 00:03:57,180 --> 00:04:05,560 You took too long to get where we are now to let it all slip 33 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:12,480 away and not even know how. The rising, rising cost of love. 34 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:21,040 It's costing me, it's costing me, it's costing you, sugar. 35 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:28,200 The rising, rising cost of love costing me. 36 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,520 It's costing me. It's costing me. 37 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,920 It's costing you. Baby. 38 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,920 The cost of love is costing me. You better believe it's costing 39 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,080 you. It's costing you. 40 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:53,640 The rising, rising cost of love. It's costing me. 41 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,360 For a kid growing up in the 1960s, life felt electric, the 42 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,400 world felt limitless and everything seemed possible. 43 00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:08,200 That belief was fuelled by American superhero comics, bold 44 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,560 colours, impossible powers, good versus evil and the idea that 45 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,840 ordinary people could become extraordinary. 46 00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:22,480 America felt like the centre of imagination, innovation and myth 47 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,000 making. But obsessions involve, and for 48 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,240 me, that fascination with American superheroes was 49 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:35,280 eventually overtaken by something far deeper American 50 00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:47,800 soul music. Baby, don't leave me. 51 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,840 If you do, you break my heart into you is my life. 52 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,680 If you leave, you'll take my life with you Now, baby, don't 53 00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:06,320 leave me. I thought you were satisfied. 54 00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:12,240 Baby don't leave me. Oh where did I grow baby? 55 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:22,040 Tell me why baby don't leave me. After all we've been through. 56 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,960 We did our oh and I'll die. But now you're saying what we 57 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,760 all do. And baby, if you leave me, I'd 58 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,840 be like a child without his toy. Baby, don't leave me. 59 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,480 You take away the life that I am gone. 60 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:14,680 I thought you were satisfied. Baby, don't leave me. 61 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,640 The same country that put men on the moon also gave the world 62 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,800 gospel harmonies, raw rhythm and Blues, civil right anthems, and 63 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,120 voices full of struggle, hope, heartbreak, and truth. 64 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,760 Where comics gave fantasy, soul music gave feeling. 65 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,920 And where superheroes told stories of power, soul singers 66 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,440 told stories of survival. And in a way, really, both did 67 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,840 the same thing. They made you believe in 68 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,800 possibility. The moon landing showed us how 69 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:21,400 far humans could go, and soul music showed us how deep humans 70 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,280 could feel. Two different worlds, the same 71 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,680 American dream, the same sense of wonder, and the same belief 72 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,000 that anything, absolutely anything, was possible. 73 00:08:50,760 --> 00:09:02,320 Burning, burning out of control. I want to speak but can't find 74 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:08,760 the word. And you can't get by baby, 75 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,760 having never heard. Think about it. 76 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:17,360 And every day when you pass my way, I would try to say, hey, I 77 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,720 love, I love you. I love. 78 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,200 Can't help myself. I didn't know how to know how to 79 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:34,680 tell you that I love you. Didn't know how to tell me that 80 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:40,240 I love you. Help me baby, baby. 81 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:12,000 When you pass my way, I will try to say can't do without you. 82 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,960 I don't know how, I didn't know how. 83 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:46,120 You know how you tell you that I love you? 84 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:10,760 On July 16th 1969, Apollo 11 rose into the sky on top of a 85 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:16,840 Saturn 5 rocket lifting off from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. 86 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:23,280 And in July 19, 9930, years after the moon landing, we were 87 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,400 lucky enough to take a family holiday to Florida. 88 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,880 But for me it wasn't just a holiday, it was a pilgrimage. 89 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,240 We went to Kennedy Space Centre and I remember the moment 90 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:40,240 clearly, walking into that vast hangar space and seeing it. 91 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,160 The Saturn fired rocket. Not on a screen, not in a book, 92 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,040 not in a documentary. But he was there. 93 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:53,800 He was real, silent, enormous. You don't understand the scale 94 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,480 until you stand underneath it. The sheer size, the power, the 95 00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:02,920 engineering, the imagination it represents. 96 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:08,120 It doesn't feel like a machine, it felt like a monument to human 97 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,240 belief. I've always been fascinated by 98 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,640 travel, not just holidays, not just places, but movement 99 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,960 itself, distance journeys, exploration and the idea of 100 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,880 leaving the known and heading into the unknown and space. 101 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,480 Space has always been the ultimate version of that. 102 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,360 So to stand underneath the Saturn 5 rocket that carried 103 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,280 Apollo 11 and then to witness the recreation of the moon 104 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,040 landing, it was just overwhelming. 105 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,720 It was emotional, powerful, and really was surreal. 106 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:51,360 It felt like standing inside history, not as a spectator, but 107 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,640 as someone connected to it through memory, childhood, 108 00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,480 wonder, and belief. Because as a kid in the 60s, 109 00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:03,680 space wasn't science, it was magic. 110 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:10,800 And then 30 years later to the day, in 1999, standing there as 111 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:44,080 an adult, the magic came back. Tell you how I feel now. 112 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,720 You know what, Lovers feels deaf. 113 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,200 You gotta do what you gotta do. Come on and do what you gotta 114 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,400 do. And when you do, baby, you will 115 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:02,480 be mine. Baby, you're gonna be mine too. 116 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,640 Little girl. I asked you to be my girl every 117 00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:14,000 day, every year. But you keep telling me you just 118 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,640 can't say. You just. 119 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,840 Oh, yeah. There is just one reason why you 120 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,480 have almost another. God damn. 121 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,040 You gotta do what you gotta do. You gotta do what you gotta do. 122 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:37,000 And when you do, when you do, when you do, when you do. 123 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:49,200 Oh, you're gonna be mine. Oh, you know I'll keep you 124 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,400 right? And gives you everything you 125 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,280 want to do, right? You everything. 126 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:59,960 Up the thing twice before running back right to him. 127 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,160 You gotta give him back his ring. 128 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,680 Tell him that it doesn't need nothing. 129 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,800 Yeah. You gotta do what? 130 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,720 The Apollo spacecraft itself was a marvel of engineering. 131 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,280 The command module the only part designed to return home, the 132 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,120 service module providing power, oxygen, water and of course the 133 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,520 propulsion, and the Lunar module, A fragile insect like 134 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:49,880 machine built not for Earth but for another world entirely when 135 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,320 they entered lunar orbit. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin 136 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,080 transferred into the lunar module Eagle, while Michael 137 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,040 Collins remained alone on the command module Columbia. 138 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,520 Circling the moon, Eagle descended towards the surface 139 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:12,840 and touched down into the Sea of Tranquillity, a silent, ancient 140 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:18,800 landscape untouched by time. Then came the moment the world 141 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,120 remembers. Armstrong stepped down the 142 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,120 ladder. Cameras rolled, signals crossed 143 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:29,320 space and history entered living rooms across the planet. 144 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,160 One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. 145 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:39,280 On July the 24th, 1969, after more than 8 days in space, 146 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,320 Apollo 11 returned to Earth, splashing down in the Pacific 147 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,080 Ocean. And for those of us growing up 148 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,720 in that era, watching it happen, it didn't feel like history. 149 00:16:53,120 --> 00:17:22,880 It felt like the future. Keep on laughing baby, but your 150 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:29,680 smile will desert you. Your level turn to a frown when 151 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,760 you find love is going to put you. 152 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,520 So go home baby. Go home baby. 153 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:50,440 Go home, baby. Save my love. 154 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,720 I gave you love, but you gave your love. 155 00:17:54,080 --> 00:18:00,960 Your love, your Love Is All gone. 156 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,360 Live but mine. Leave your step down after you 157 00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:05,360 told me. Good night, good night. 158 00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:17,560 After your life. When I'm quiet, go go. 159 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:07,400 Go on and laugh at me. Go laugh in this kitchen. 160 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,560 Yeah, it's good. Talk about me to your friend. 161 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:18,280 Now that you've deserted me. I want the food inside but 162 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:34,160 believe it will soon be right. 163 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,480 Go. Roll away. 164 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:38,400 Go. You better go. 165 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:55,120 Keep on moving. Now, we all have moments, and we 166 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,640 all have memories and places that live in our minds for 167 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:03,680 years, sometimes decades, before we even stand in them for real. 168 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,520 And I was lucky enough to do exactly that, to visit a place 169 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,800 that lived in my imagination for 30 years. 170 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,760 And not just to see it, but to relive it. 171 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,000 And you might be wondering, what is the connection? 172 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,440 What links child of wonder, space travel, the moon landing, 173 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,680 Manchester streets, American soul music and a life shaped by 174 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,520 sound? The answer is simple. 175 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,000 It's the power of music. Music connects memory. 176 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,480 It connects moments, connects places, connects generations, 177 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,080 and even connects emotion to time. 178 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,480 It turns history into feeling and memory into meaning. 179 00:20:48,120 --> 00:21:10,840 Until the next time, bye bye. I sit here come your day 180 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,440 wandering. We drove you away. 181 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,640 Baby, Please come back to me. How much boy? 182 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,880 Can you see? Baby, please. 183 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,520 Where have you gone? Won't you please bring your 184 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:33,120 myself away? I'm not going to turn in the kit 185 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,040 and they won't feel good. Won't you? 186 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:40,840 Please don't believe. Can't you see I'm in it? 187 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,280 Tell me.
