S01E01 Part One - The Land of Make Believe

Mrs. Thatcher's envisioned dream world turns chaotic as ghosts from the past return to unsettle it. As power dynamics shift in society, a thrilling yet frightening atmosphere emerges. The scene is vibrant with a Gay Scottish Disco, an intersex dog, and iconic figures like Mrs. Thatcher and Jimmy Savile. An encounter group explores the complexities of identity, while the specters of the Empire loom large. Amidst the backdrop of video dating, Ian Curtis’s music, and monetarism, a dead pilot, Stephen Hawking’s theories on black holes, and the National Front’s presence add to the turmoil, alongside a fat-shaming ventriloquist and a dub clash sound system. All of this happens while a party elephant stands by, and tensions rise with incidents of racist attacks and Bucks Fizz playing in the background.
