Spice Girls: How Girl Power Changed Britain

Tuesday, C4 HD, 9pm

It’s been 25 years since the Spice Girls released their first smash hit Wannabe on 8 July 1996.

The single ended up spending seven weeks at number one, and catapulted five unknown girls – Victoria Adams, Mel Brown, Emma Bunton, Mel Chisholm and Geri Halliwell – to global superstardom.

Now, a new C4 documentary uses revealing interviews and archive footage to tell their story, which saw them become the biggest-selling girl band of all time.
