Loaded: Lads, Mags and Mayhem
Friday 9pm, BBC Two
For all the problems that came with lad culture, there’s is no denying that the story of Loaded magazine is a compelling ride through naughty 90s nostalgia – a time when “magazines were your internet!”. Former editor James Brown, journalist Miranda Sawyer, “ladette” Gail Porter and one-time cover star David Baddiel relive those hedonistic years, revealing what was happening behind the scenes, from fancy awards nights to a misjudged tour. But they also, rightly, re-examine the much darker parts.
