The Sounds of 2006

Sounds of the 21st Century

Available for over a year

Claudia Winkleman introduces Part 7 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 2006. Life on Mars is the big TV hit, cinema goers try to unravel the Da Vinci Code and Snow Patrol are Chasing Cars. Zidane's headbutt is the big sports news, it's the end for Corrie's Mike Baldwin and BBC1's Top of the Pops, Radio 2 welcomes Chris Evans and gamers go bonkers for the PS3 and the Wii.
