BBC Music: My Generation will see programming across TV and radio take a look back at some of the most memorable moments from the decade, from the perspective of fans and musical icons of the time.

The year-long season has so far explored the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, featuring Tom Jones, Keith Richards, Boy George and Soul II Soul frontman Jazzie B. 

Horner's Nineties: The Decade That Made Me will see the former Spice Girl reflect on her own musical journey, from starting the decade as a working-class 18-year-old girl in Watford, through the phenomenal fame as a Spice Girl, and her further success as a solo artist at the end of the 1990s.

Through the nineties she worked as a TV presenter, joined a girl band, formed a close friendship with George Michael and became the icon for Cool Britannia, as Ginger Spice in her unforgettable Union Jack dress.

The documentary focuses on the great moments in pop culture in the decade such as boy bands, Brit Pop, Girl Power and the rave scene.

It will feature interviews with some of her friends and family, plus many central personalities from the decade.

The era of music came at a time of key political, social and cultural moments: from Nelson Mandela's release, to the fall of the Berlin Wall, to the end of Margaret Thatcher's reign and the tragic death of Princess Diana. 

Geri Horner said: "It was a decade of hope, opportunity and change, in all areas of life, a decade of FREEDOM! The freedom to be yourself, to make your own choices as expressed through music, fashion and politics.

"Personally it was a journey of self-discovery, reflecting on some amazing things I am incredibly grateful to have experienced. I think the nineties was a very optimistic decade that proved that regardless of who you are and where you come from, you can evolve and change and dreams can come true.”

Jan Younghusband, Head of Music TV Commissioning, said: “We are thrilled that Geri has agreed to share her first-hand insights as a leading woman in music, and how the influences of her life have shaped her as a performer.

"This will be a unique glimpse into the real world of the female global superstar in music and what it takes to be top of her game.”
