0:30:48 > 0:30:50Two of Britain's most popular pop groups
0:30:50 > 0:30:53have begun the biggest chart war in 30 years.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57It's been described as the British heavyweight pop music championship.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59In one corner, four young middle-class men
0:30:59 > 0:31:01from the south of England,
0:31:01 > 0:31:03collectively known as Blur, and in the other corner,
0:31:03 > 0:31:07five young working-class men from Manchester called Oasis.

0:31:19 > 0:31:23But tonight, there's no denying Blur are top of the pops!
0:31:29 > 0:31:32And so the story begins.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34# City dweller, successful fella
0:31:34 > 0:31:38# He thought to himself "Oops, I've got a lot of money"
0:31:38 > 0:31:41# Caught in a rat race terminally
0:31:43 > 0:31:46# I'm a professional cynic but my heart's not in it
0:31:46 > 0:31:48# I'm paying the price of living life at the limit
0:31:48 > 0:31:52# Caught in the century's anxiety
0:31:52 > 0:31:55# It preys on him
0:31:55 > 0:31:58# He's getting thin
0:31:58 > 0:32:02# He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
0:32:03 > 0:32:08# Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
0:32:09 > 0:32:11# He takes all manner of pills
0:32:11 > 0:32:14# And piles up analyst bills in the country
0:32:14 > 0:32:18# It's like an animal farm, lots of rural charm in the country
0:32:20 > 0:32:23# Now he got morning glory, life's a different story
0:32:23 > 0:32:26# Everything's going Jackanory
0:32:26 > 0:32:30# Touched with his own mortality
0:32:31 > 0:32:34# He's reading Balzac and knocking back the Prozac
0:32:34 > 0:32:37# A helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
0:32:37 > 0:32:40# Oh, it's the century's remedy
0:32:40 > 0:32:44# For the faint at heart
0:32:44 > 0:32:46# A new start
0:32:46 > 0:32:51# He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
0:32:51 > 0:32:52# He's got a fog in his chest
0:32:52 > 0:32:56# So he needs a lot of rest in the country
0:32:56 > 0:32:59# He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh,
0:32:59 > 0:33:02# Takes herbal baths in the country

0:37:51 > 0:37:54Being on holiday doesn't necessarily guarantee good weather,
0:37:54 > 0:37:57so you can come down to the Winter Gardens here at the People's Palace.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00In fact, a couple of members of Echobelly have come
0:38:00 > 0:38:02for a bit of a chat and some tasty fruit cocktails.
