Yeah, it wasn't always great...those bits were naff (far too long spent on Mr C, sorry mate!)...and far too long on Oceanic. Actually, everybody was featured a bit too much, at the expense of more acts (guess they couldn't get any others). No Cathy Dennis! No Right Said Fred! Was also a bit weird they never mentioned REM.

The 2022 version of Rozalla is VERY cute.
I think Mr C and Oceanic got enough time. Vic Reeves and Mr Wonderstuff seemed to feature too much though. We had Vic, then the Wonderstuff, and then the two of them together. It was a bit much.
Yes, them too! Although I didn't mind quite as much. But it did seem to go on a bit.
Perhaps they just ran Out of time...
Yes, way too much Wonderstuff there I agree. More variety of the acts from 1991 in the actual story of would have been nice.
What kind of magic does Rozalla have? She looks incredible 31 years later!
30 years later … this was filmed ages ago remember! Haha!
The KLF bits were interesting!
For me
The KLF
REM
Electronic
Were my fave acts of 1991!

In a year dominated (for me!) by lovely ladies (Cathy, Betty, Kylie, Belinda, Mariah, Beverley) it was ironic that none of them really featured.
But we got the lady from Oceanic.
Rozalla was an unexpected bonus!

I found Mr C quite a laugh really. At the height of The Shamen's popularity I recall him being on This Morning and coming across as a bit of a dick with a total lack of self-awareness. He was describing the Shamen's music as "post-modern, post-punk, post-house" etc to which Richard Madeley said "post-natal?" and in total serious face Mr C went "yeah yeah that too". He was probably off his face at 10.30 on ITV and not really listening, but it was just so funny that he didn't get Richard's joke. But in The Story of 91 he came across quite on the ball and witty. I'd have thought that The Shamen would be more of a 1992 feature though given that their biggest and most controversial hit was in 1992 and for 1991 they only really had the one hit - but it was the one that broke them through I guess.
Expect he'll show up in 92 as well, like Seal did for 90 and 91
Mr C's raps were at times pure cringe 'Comin' on like a seventh sense!' in particular was embarrassing.
Also, the Shamen had a member (Will) who passed away just as they hit with 'Move any mountain'. Bit poor not to mention him.

Lolz - Mr C and Madame X.
Especially as he was in the video clip for Mountain that they showed.
