This series shows in a new and imaginative way how over the past 40 years in Britain extreme money and hyper-individualism came together in an unspoken alliance. Together they undermined one of the fundamental structures of mass democracy - that it could create a shared idea of what was real. And as that fell apart, with it went the language and the ideas that people had turned to for the last 150 years to make sense of the world they lived in.

Part Three - I Love a Millionaire

Money replaces ideology as a way of ordering Britain. It was supposed to make things rational. But the money got mixed with old forces from the past. And wasn't as predictable as it seemed. Shoes from Russell & Bromley. Mrs Thatcher's luminous earrings. Dolly the horse. Liberal intellectuals who know their power is over. Leeks by moonlight. The Duke of Westminster. The Bitch. Modern art. Morrissey’s nostalgia. Make-up by Rimmel. Dodi Fayed. Ken Dodd's suitcase. Data extraction. The first Islamist group. The covenants of old English power. MDMA. Mrs Thatcher reads a poem. White rasta.
