Here we are in 2022 navigating cancel culture, Brexit, identity politics, war in Europe.
How did we get here? Did we miss something? Robert Carlyle, who played the wildcard Begbie in the 90s hit Trainspotting, is here to show us that we did. That the world we live in was shaped by the forgotten decade: the 1990s.
From Hong Kong to Moscow, Cool Britannia to No Frills flights, we travel back in time to key moments in the 90s that reverberate today in unexpected ways.
Episode 3: Gender
When Harry Styles donned a dress for the cover of Vogue Magazine it caused a storm in an online teacup. Some commentators said it was the end of masculinity as we know it. Pretty much the same thing was said when David Beckham wore a sarong in public in 1998. Robert Carlyle asks if gender politics has changed much in three decades, as he takes us back to the era of the New Lad and Ladette. Along the way he hears from journalist Sean O'Hagan, who coined the term New Lad, Natasha Walter, author of The New Feminism and Professor Helen McCarthy.
