Synopsis

Episode image for 1994

Jeremy Vine introduces an audio collage of news and music from 1994 - the year of Prozac, the Wonderbra and the re-launch of BBC Radio 5 "live".

It's a vintage year at the cinema multiplex, with Four Weddings and A Funeral, Philadelphia, Forrest Gump and The Lion King.

The music world mourns Kurt Cobain, the Labour Party elects a new young leader called Tony Blair, and Noel Edmonds is the first voice of the balls as the National Lottery makes its first draw.
