Fearne Cotton with music and archive from 1991 as heard at the time including Robin Hood, Right Said Fred and Gulf War 1.

1991: a mix of music and movies, news and gossip, with no narrator, no celebrity recollections and no hindsight. Just the noises of the 90s, as we heard them at the time.

It's the year of Gulf War 1 and talk of something called the "world wide web". Salt-N- Pepa want to Talk About Sex, Right Said Fred are too sexy for their shirts and Robin Hood and Bryan Adams are inescapable.
