In 1996, the world met The Spice Girls. It didn’t know what hit it. In Episode 2, Rosie Ramsey takes you inside the all-conquering whirlwind that was Spice Mania. Under the watchful eye of music biz supremo Simon Fuller, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton and Victoria Adams bring Girl Power to the masses. It’s a dream come true - but is it all too much? You’ll hear it from the Girls themselves through rare Âé¶¹Éç Archive, and in new interviews from the people who were there - including Peter Loraine, Jayne Middlemiss, Sara Cox, photographer Harry Borden and costume designers Kate Carin and Eleanor Baker. Superfans Delta Goodrem, Olly Alexander, Fearne Cotton and Clara Amfo weigh in on a generational obsession. A Cup and Nuzzle Production.
