In the history of popular music...
There have been rebels. There have been revolutionaries.
And there have been madmen.
But there has never been anyone quite like... The KLF.
This is the story of Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty...
Two musical anarchists with a plan to take over the world.
In a Britain divided by Thatcherism...
Where acid house was terrifying the establishment...
And the music industry was making millions...
They hijacked pop culture.
Wrote a manual explaining how to manufacture a number one single...
And became one of the biggest bands on the planet.
They conquered the charts. Sold millions of records.
And turned the British music industry upside down.
But just as they reached the very top…
They decided to destroy everything.
At the 1992 Brit Awards, they fired blanks into the audience.
Dumped a dead sheep outside an aftershow party.
And announced they were leaving the music business forever.
They deleted their entire catalogue. Abandoned their career.
But their most extraordinary act was still to come...
On a remote Scottish island in the dead of night...
They burned one million pounds of their own money.
This was no publicity stunt. A million in cash went up in flames.
Was it art? Was it madness?
Or was it the greatest act of rebellion in music history?
From underground raves to number one records...
From pop superstardom to infamous self-destruction...
This is the unbelievable true story of two men who beat the music industry at its own game… changed the landscape of popular music, and then set fire to the winnings!!
This is the rise and fall of the KLF…

Halloween night. 1992.
Britain was settling down for an evening in front of the television.
There were only four channels.
And the BBC was the one you could trust.
A national treasure. A beloved children's presenter.
And a perfectly ordinary house in suburban London.
What followed would become one of the most notorious nights in British broadcasting history…
It was called Ghostwatch.
A ‘live’ investigation into the supernatural.
Or at least... that's what millions of viewers thought they were watching.
But as the cameras rolled...
The noises grew louder. The children became terrified.
And something... began to emerge from the darkness.
Families watched in horror. The BBC's switchboard was overwhelmed.
And across Britain, viewers began to ask the same question...
Was this really happening?
By the time the credits rolled, the damage was done.
There were complaints. Newspaper outrage. Accusations that the BBC had betrayed its audience.
And a television programme that would become a broadcasting legend.
But how did a fictional ghost story convince a nation it was real?
Who was the mysterious figure hiding in plain sight?
And how did one Halloween broadcast become a nightmare that haunted British television for decades?
This is the story of the programme that terrified Britain.
This is Ghostwatch

Part 4 of the infamous, and at times unexpected story of one of modern Britain’s greatest folly’s turned success stories - The Millennium Dome.
The millenium is here and the dome is finally open. But it's safe to say the illfated project has not gone well as visitor numbers are poor and multiple financial bailouts are required.
And soon news of an audacious diamon heist reaches Scotland Yard...

Joining me today to discuss the infamous, and at times unexpected story of one of modern Britain’s greatest folly’s turned success stories - The Millennium Dome, is comedian Matthew Crosby
At the end of the twentieth century on the banks of the River Thames, an extraordinary structure rose from the rubble of an old industrial wasteland… The Millennium Dome.
Born under the Conservatives…
Embraced by Tony Blair's New Labour…
Promoted as a spectacular symbol of a new Britain...
But almost from the beginning, the Dome became a political battleground…
The headlines were merciless.
Was this Britain's great celebration of the future?
Or an expensive political vanity project?
When the doors opened on New Year's Eve 1999, there were crowds, confusion and huge queues.
Millions visited. Some loved it. Others hated it.
And when the Dome finally closed, critics seemed to have their white elephant.
But the story wasn't over…
The ensuing years included huge dance music parties. Diamond heists. And eventually the Dome was reborn and became one of Europe's iconic entertainment destinations.
So what really happened?
Was it a political triumph?
A spectacular failure?
A vision simply ahead of its time?
Or a combination of all of the above and so much more?
This is the story of the most infamous new building in our lifetime - this is the rise and fall and rise again of The Millennium Dome.

Las Vegas - 1967…
Two young men from Germany, united by a love of magic, spectacle and one extraordinary obsession, arrive in Nevada with almost nothing to their name…
Siegfried and Roy - two showmen that were set to define magic and spectacle for the next five decades…
Every evening they transformed the impossible into entertainment...
Tigers appeared from nowhere.
White lions prowled across the stage.
And night after night, millions watched as two illusionists became global superstars.
But behind the sequins, the headlines and the roaring crowds was a story of ambition, friendship and betrayal.
How did two outsiders build one of the most spectacular and highest earning acts in entertainment history?
Then, in 2003, everything changed.
During a performance at the Mirage, Roy was viciously attacked by one of the show's beloved white tigers. The world watched in shock...
What followed became another chapter in a story that had already defied belief. More unbelievable than their show itself.
Two men.
A lifetime of dreams.
The biggest stage in the world.
And the fine line between illusion and reality.
This is the extraordinary story of Siegfried and Roy.

Britain in the early 1980s. A nation gripped by fear.
Not of war. Not of crime.
But of what was lurking... on the video shelf.
Cheap horror films. Violent exploitation movies. Unregulated VHS tapes passed from hand to hand…
They became known by one unforgettable name...
...the Video Nasties.
At the centre of the storm stood one woman - Mary Whitehouse
To some she was a campaigner. A Champion. A moral crusader.
To others a puritanical, self-appointed moral guardian…
She argued Britain was losing its moral compass...
Her critics argued Britain was losing something else...
It’s freedom.
The debate raged over who decides what we're allowed to watch?
And when does protecting society become controlling it?
Police raids… banned films… media-fuelled moral panic…
This is the story of a cultural battle that changed British censorship forever.
This is Video Nasties: Mary Whitehouse and the Battle Over Censorship.

Britain in the mid 1980’s is a nation caught between tradition and change.
Margaret Thatcher's government reshapes the economy…
Duran Duran and Wham! dominate the pop charts, while Live Aid unites the world through music.
And most importantly of all - daytime TV was about to change forever…
In 1985 - a quiet cul-de-sac in Melbourne, Australia, captured the world's imagination.
Ramsay Street wasn't just a fictional location. For millions of viewers, it quickly felt like home.
From pop superstars to Academy Award Winners - the show became a legendary launchpad for global superstardom.
It gave the world pop Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Guy Pierce, Margot Robbie, and Russell Crowe…
By the late 1980s, nearly twenty million British viewers tuned in daily. It became an essential cultural anchor for a generation of UK school kids and adults alike.
From Bouncer's dream to Harold’s Amnesia and Scott and Charlene’s iconic wedding - few shows before or since have held such a nostalgic, endearing place in the heart of British TV viewers…
This is the wonderful story of Australia’s greatest TV export, a show that was much more than just a soap opera, this is ‘Neigbours’…

Joining me today to discuss one of the most disastrous Broadway Musicals ever - Spiderman: Turn off the Dark - Is comedian and friend Suzi Ruffell
There are Broadway musicals that become legends…
…and then there are Broadway musicals that become infamous cautionary tales.
From the creators of The Lion King and the visionary minds of Bono and The Edge came a musical so ambitious… so expensive… so unbelievably cursed…
…it made critics beg for intermission.
Budget problems. Flying accidents. Preview delays.
I could go on… so I will…
Six directors. Millions over budget.
