Capital

Someone wants what they have

On BBC One

A tense, class-conscious portrait of gentrification and social anxiety where an anonymous threat destabilizes an affluent London street and its inhabitants' sense of security.

Set on a single street in South London, Capital is a portrait of a road transformed by soaring property prices: what was once the home of modest lower-middle class families, Pepys Road has been continuously gentrified into a street of multimillion pound houses. On one day, the people of this South London street all receive an anonymous postcard with the simple message 'we want what you have'. Its unsettling ripples affect every corner of the community.
