Season 1 Episode 2

Docu-drama, examining the possible consequences of the widening rich-poor divide, presenting a theoretical future 10 years hence. While the middle classes have an even higher standard of living than they do now, poorer areas have descended further into antisocial behaviour and petty crime : so much so that those who can afford to have retreated to gated communities and cut themselves off from the country. When Britain's first black prime minister outlines controversial fiscal plans designed to narrow the gap between rich and poor, it provokes uproar among the isolationists, leading to a taxpayer revolt.
