Claudia Winkleman introduces the Sounds of the 21st Century, eleven shows recalling the music, media, news, triumphs, tragedies and trivia from 2000 to 2010. . The stories, the Radio and TV and the movies as we heard them at the time. No comment, no analysis, no hindsight, no celebrity memories, just the sounds of the year.

Episode one: an immersive mix of words and music to take listeners back to the year 2000.
As the Millennium Dome opens to widespread ridicule, Napster and the PS2 are headlining developments in tech, Big Brother arrives in our living rooms, Billy Elliott and Gladiator are in the multiplexes and the charts embrace Robbie, S Club and Ronan while finding room for newcomers Eminem, Coldplay and Moby (oh, and Bob the Builder!) The word of the year is "wassup" as Ken Livingstone becomes the first elected Mayor of London, George W Bush wins a disputed US election and Sven-G枚ran Eriksson takes over as England manager. Venus wins Wimbledon, Steve Redgrave gets a 5th Olympic gold and there are tragic accidents in the air and on the rails.
