The Sounds of 2005

Sounds of the 21st Century

Available for over a year

Claudia Winkleman introduces Part 6 of Sounds of the 21st Century, eleven shows - one hour for each year - recalling the music, the media and the stories of 2000 to 2010. No comment, no analysis, no celebrity memories, just the sounds of the year as they were heard at the time.

 In this episode it's the soundtrack to 2005. Tony Blair is back in Downing St, London is rocked by the bombings of 7/7 and 14/7, Man Utd are snapped by the Glazers and the UK has its first Civil Partnerships. The big ringtone is Crazy Frog, the big bands are Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys and Kaiser Chiefs and TV sees the arrival of Desperate Housewives, The Apprentice and Deal or No Deal. Liverpool win the European Cup and England win the Ashes.
