Hashtag of the Year - #thedress

Trending

Available for over a year

Anne-Marie Tomchak talks us through some of her favourite viral songs of the year. And we revisit one of this year’s biggest talking point - #thedress. People around the world debated which colour it was - dark blue & black or white & gold. For some, the debate suggested an existential crisis over the nature of sight and reality, which could go as far as harming interpersonal relationships. Others expressed their dismay at the triviality of the whole dispute. Was discussing the dress a huge waste of time, or did we learn something in the process? Produced by Estelle Doyle.
