- Synopsis:
The year is 2031. It’s an era of unparalleled progress (apart from the two billion people wiped out by blooding). Meat is used as a source of energy and special airlines even allow animals to migrate comfortably by commercial flight. But what was life really like in the early years of the 21st Century? Policitcs, sport, television and celebrity all come under the spotlight as we remember how the War on Terror was won, Tesco’s invasion of Denmark, the Royal Referendum, Bob Geldof’s Concert to End Death, Charlotte Church vomiting herself inside out, children’s plastic surgery show Spicy Slicey, the live Cilla autopsy, Honey, I shrunk Martha Kearney, outrageous cult TV success Rape an Ape and other momentous events. The review is helped along by television clips, interviews with older versions of Seb Coe, Charlotte Church, Ant and Dec, Bob Geldof, Jamie Oliver, David Beckham, Anne Robinson, David Cameron and other wrinkly but familiar faces, as well as the promise of an interview with an increasingly odd, ageing Tom Cruise... - Actors:
