As Britpop and lad culture became intertwined, did this heady relationship do a disservice to the women behind the music?

30 years on from Britpop, Jo Whiley and Steve Lamacq take a trip back to the 90s to reassess the scene鈥檚 relationship with sex and gender. From the front covers of lads mags, to music videos, they delve into the day to day experiences of many band members.

Featuring new and archive interviews with Louise Wener, Shirley Manson, Miki Berenyi and Justine Frischmann, Episode 4 of The Rise and Fall of Britpop highlights the barriers women faced and celebrates the trails they blazed across the decade.
