    What happens when the megacities of tomorrow decide they no longer want to be part of the nations that birthed them?

    It’s 2050 and the climate emergency is ever more politicized.  As a tornado builds in the background, San Francisco declares a state of independence from the rest of the United States.  Could this lead to civil war? What will this mean for society? Could it save the planet?

    What would society look like if every person could vote on every political decision?

    Welcome to Political Lottery Live! A TV game show where viewers vote on policies proposed by members of the public.  What would it mean for society if ‘ordinary’ people could propose any policy and the decision was entirely in the hands of the populus?  Would it be a celebration of true democracy or could it lead to the derailment of society entirely?

    Could humanity successfully colonise space? 

    The race to colonise space is ramping up, but when a vital mission ends in disaster - plans to colonise Mars are halted.  Years later, the moon has become a vital resource, and international tensions increase as Super Powers battle for lunar minerals and for new extra-terrestrial territory. 

    In this episode of Never Dark, we follow an ambitious engineer as he pioneers the ‘Skyhook’ - a gigantic catapult that could give us access to the stars, and ultimately allow humanity to colonise space.
