Episodes 1 to 5. Levelling Up, Russia, Gender Politics, Internet and Tech.

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 London to Moscow, Cool Britannia to Men Behaving Badly, the birth of the internet and the start of online surveillance, we travel back in time to key moments in the '90s that reverberate today in unexpected ways.
