In the near future, a catastrophic food crisis has led to the collapse of British society and the rise of extremism.
An official from the ailing government goes on an odyssey to find the leader of the dominant far-right party, intent on ending the madness and inhumanity.
Sounds very pertinent.
On tomorrow evening on ch 4.

Thanks for the warning - I'll be avoiding it for sure.
Why anyone would want to watch this kind of stuff is beyond me. I suppose many people see it as a bit of pure fantasy showing the absolute worst that could happen if we don't pull ourselves together in the next 50 years - as opposed to by far the most likely thing to happen within 5 years.

Did anyone see this yet? Is it any good?
I suppose near future doesn't necessarily mean the next 50 years, does it? We're surely headed for a bit of a crisis sooner than that. I read somewhere it was said in the next few years (I don't remember anything too good, so no judgement if I got it wrong) there was something about starvation in Europe and over 200.000 (or maybe it was million) dying? Anyone else heard anything like this?
*Edit: So what will the future look like then? paragraph might be a little far-fetched.

Sounds unlikely to me. Far too optimistic.
