Darren examines how social class and where we live impacts our lives in ways that few realise, from our addictions to our qualifications, to violence and who owns our land.
Starting off in Logie Estate in Dundee, Scotland鈥檚 oldest housing scheme, Darren discovers that our social class and where we live has a massive effect on our destinies. Meeting a group of gambling addicts, Darren begins to see how the desire to be a certain class had massive implications.
In Glasgow, he meets Erin, an inspiring teenager who helped force the government to change their policy on how exam grades were awarded during the pandemic, and he comes face to face with two former offenders to find out if there is a link between knife crime and social class. He also discovers the hidden truth of one of our big employers - call centres.
Not content with seeing how life on the urban streets is impacted, Darren then sets his steely gaze on one of the most contested issues in the debate about social class and power: rural land ownership. Starting in Langholm in Dumfries and Galloway, he meets some locals trying to buy 10,000 acres from one of the UK鈥檚 largest landowners, hoping to reverse years of decline in the town. Shotgun in hand, Darren is at an Angus country estate for a grouse shoot, only to discover that the answer to land inequality might not be as simple as he once thought.
