That’s my point - the two are inseperable. And as it’s Channel 4, and they’re showing it in Toronto, I suspect it will be dealt with seriously, but will deliberately be as close as possible to the lines drawn between that approach, and sensationalism & black comedy.
(Oh, and take a look at Time Trumpet - plenty of clips on Youtube - for a far less serious approach to ‘future history’)
