The Millennium (And Other Significant Numerical Events)

Our end-of-year special for BBC Radio Wales, I Can't Get Over 2024, is available now on BBC Sounds.How best to mark 100 episodes of the podcast? By reflecting on the other Significant Numerical Event which many of us lived through and may even remember - the build-up and fall-out of the 1st January 2000. The Millennium.Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears look through the Radio Times for New Millennium Eve itself before watching BBC One's coverage of the night itself. And you can do the same thing! All 28 hours are on YouTube, but we join the action around 11.30pm (the link should take you to roughly the right spot although we then skip through the night itself, you can do it in real time!)Let us know your memories of Millennium Eve or your favourite bits from the night (we'll surely cover Dale Winton's disasterous lottery draw another day) by email on [email protected] or through one of the following social media accounts...BlueSky: @imsonotoveritInstagram: @imsonotoveritTikTok: @imsonotoveritSome previous Decembers covered by the podcast include the previous two episodes on this feed, but further back there's also December 1989, in which Pete Waterman postponed his wedding and December 1987 in which Eastenders trialled a live segment in a New Year special. Both are ridiculous in their own way.Music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay and AlexGrohl from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is A Mighty Bunny Production.Tickets are now on sale for Gareth Gwynn's show Cyril at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
