In the 1990s all areas of British culture underwent a massive re-birth. A new wave of pop music swept the nation, the film industry was booming, the fashion world was alive with fresh new talent and a group of non-conformist Young British Artists was taking the art world by storm. Even a younger, cooler Prime Minister had moved in to 10 Downing Street.
Over the next two episodes we’re looking back at the era of Brit Pop and Cool Britannia.
