Five girls. One era-defining phenomenon. Meet the Spice Girls. In Episode One, Rosie Ramsey follows the Girls as they take their first steps on the path to superstardom. It’s a time for sisterhood, a little subterfuge, and a total refusal to do anything but win. Told in the Spice Girls own words from the BBC archive, and featuring brand new interviews with friends, fans and collaborators - including manager Chris Herbert, vocal coach Pepi Lemer, and journalist Miranda Sawyer. A Cup and Nuzzle Production.
