Coming up on Television

History of Now: The Story of the Noughties Find on BBC iplayer This is just the kind of thumping, swirling, quick-cut obituary the noughties deserve. But it's also crammed with canny insights and well-turned ideas: food for the brain as well as the eyes. The thrust of this opener is that the main faultlines of the noughties were not to do with class, as they had been in previous decades, but age. Generations grew apart. Older people grew more frightened of young people - hence "hoodie" paranoia. The young separated themselves from the world of their parents using computers and phones (and hoods). And the middle-aged refused to grow old gracefully, dressing like teenagers and pinching their music. It's a sweeping theory, but there are academics to bolster it with real research as well as sage contributors like Will Self and Andrew Marr to sum it up eloquently. Along the way social trends from Botox parties to micro-scooters are roped in to the argument and we learn the significance of buzzwords like "quants" and "neets" that helped define the decade. It's all so sparkily put together, it almost makes you nostalgic. Continues Thursday and Friday. Radio Times reviewer - David Butcher Tuesday January 5 2010 21:00 - 22:00
