And a Happy New Year. This month, Samira Ahmed and Graham Kibble-White are looking at programmes that greeted the New Millennium in January 2000. And they are…

05:07 – Blue Peter‘s first edition of the year, in which they unearth the time capsule buried on the show back in 1971.

15:33 – The Coronation Street hour-long New Year’s Day special, revealing how the residents of Weatherfield rang in 2000.

29:28 – The very first episode of Dom Joly’s Trigger Happy TV.

41:35 – The BBC’s grand, ill-fated “social” experiment, Castaway 2000.
