BBC Radio 1's Stories - The Noughties - 5. Radio 1's Story of the Noughties: 2004

In the fifth of Radio 1's Story of the Noughties, Edith Bowman takes us back to the year 2004 - the music, the people, the events.

2004 turned out to be the year of the "chav". Goldie Lookin' Chain tell us why everyone went Burberry-crazy, and why GLC were better than Coldplay. And as the download chart launches Comedy Dave from the Chris Moyles show tells us the impact it had on music.

As Bestival was launched, organiser and Radio 1 DJ Rob Da Bank tells us why this decade's festivals have been all about small, beautiful and "boutique". Plus spoken word poet Luke Wright performs a piece written especially for the series about TV soaps this decade. And in the year that John Peel died, Biffy Clyro tell us why everyone loved Radio 1's very own legend.

And finally, as zombie rom-com Shaun of the Dead hit the cinemas and became a huge success over here AND in the US, Edith catches up with two of the UK's best-loved comedy writers and actors, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, to find out how the noughties have been for them.

Comfortably Numb - The Scissor Sisters
