Episode 1 • Nov 01, 1982
Five Go Mad in Dorset
In the 1950s, four children--Anne, described as a "proper little housewife", rather butch George who has an unhealthy relationship with her dog Timmy, and their brothers Dick and Julian, whose relationship seems to be more than fraternal--go on a cycling holiday in Dorset where their flair for detection, plus their snobbery and xenophobia, gets a whole string of suspicious characters arrested.
Episode 2 • Jan 02, 1983
War
1985:- England has been invaded by the Warsaw Pact countries and middle-class couple Hermine and Godfrey retreat to their rural hide-away but after witnessing a bunch of incompetent commandos kill each other, they get separated.

The Beat Generation
In the monochrome world of 1960, pretentious Alan, violent Kix and sex-mad Eleanor are part of a colony of beat poets, living a hedonistic, unreal existence in a large villa overlooking the sea. Dumped by his girlfriend Jeremy is anxious to be part of their circle until two girls from the outside world and a wild party open his eyes to what really matters.
