the noughties... was that it?

BBC3, 9pm, 4th & 11th November

A fascinating journey through the most influential time of historical change since the Renaissance. Ten remarkable years of social change, celebrity, art, sex, politics and new technology that has set the template for the next hundred years. We became text addicts. 'Metrosexual' men donned make up. We were forced to smoke behind the bikesheds. We twittered. We picked a fight with ‘Terror’. We were introduced to WAGS, ASBOs and Chavs. We said goodbye to Dubya & Teflon Tony and waved hello to America’s first black President. But Simon Cowell became the real leader of the free world. And that’s barely touching the sides. Ken Livingstone, Bianca  Gascoigne, Germaine Greer, Chloe Madeley, Michelle De Swarte, Will Self and many many others reflect on their Noughties with wit, insight, rage and warmth.
