Saturday saw the passing of an important anniversary, the 10 year anniversary of the birth of a significant social movement which went on to change how a large portion of society saw themselves. Conversely credited and blamed for the rise in confidence and self-belief amongst young girls and the rise in girl gangs and girl-on boy violence, the rally-call of "Girl Power" characterised the fortunes of the union that charmed the world. The Spice Girls' "Wannabe" was released on July the 8th 1996, and Saturday marked 10 years since that glorious day when stereos across the UK screamed out, "I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want".
Here are the Spice Girls in their first Top Of The Pops appearance, appropriately enough via satellite link from... Japan.
