Episode details

Available for over a year
Claudia Winkleman introduces Part 10 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 2009. As President Obama is inaugurated and the recession is biting, Dizzee Rascal goes bonkers, TV sets go digital, it's Terry Wogan's final breakfast show, Avatar and Slumdog Millionaire are the big movies, Susan Boyle shocks the BGT judges and Rage Against The Machine are the surprise no.1 for Christmas.
