There's a new historian in town: Geri Horner (née Halliwell, otherwise known as Ginger Spice) is on BBC2 this Saturday hosting a look at the 1990s (when, of course, she was at the height of her powers) and examining everything from Cool Britannia to the death of Princess Diana.
Of all the TV on this week -- from Catastrophe to A Killing in My Family on Channel 4, we're reserving our excitement for Geri's 1990s – My Drive to Freedom, in which the former Spice Girl charts her journey from working-class Watford to international superstardom via the fall of the Berlin Wall, the rise of New Labour and everything Nelson Mandela.
Expect to see Geri reflect on the key events that shaped her life before becoming part of one of the most successful girl bands of all time. She talks movingly about her close friendship with her pop idol pin-up George Michael, and recalls how supportive he was when she left the Spice Girls and embarked on her solo career.
Geri's 1990s -- My Drive to Freedom airs Saturday 11 March, 9pm BBC2
