The 90s: the era of New Labour and Cool Britannia, Britpop and rave culture.

It was the decade of dial-up internet and “football’s coming home.” But beyond the nostalgia, what did the 90s really do for — and to — us?

Join a panel of iconic figures as they look back on a decade of hedonism, creativity and rebellion, and ask whether it was definitely,maybe the start of a cultural revolution that reshaped modern Britain.

Host: Miranda Sawyer
Panel: Harriet Harman, Judge Jules, Jason McGann and Denise van Outen
