Sensationalists: The Bad Girls and Boys of British Art
DOCUMENTARY 9PM, BBC2
Twenty-five years ago, the Sensation exhibition at the Royal Academy in London marked the dawn of a new age in art, a moment when names including Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin started to be talked about as if they were rock stars. This three-part series looks back in wonder, talks to the movers and shakers and plots the shift from the Broken Britain of the 1980s to the collision of art, fashion, music and movies that became the Cool Britannia of the 1990s.
