Capital

Capital is a three-part British television adaptation of John Lanchester’s novel Capital. The series was written by Peter Bowker, directed by Euros Lyn and produced by Matt Strevens for Kudos Film & Television Company. The first episode was broadcast on BBC One on 24 November 2015. The story centres on a fictional Pepys Road in South London and the lives of people with connections to it. Once an ordinary residential area, the value of each house in the street is approaching £2 million. Its residents range from those who were born there to the newly wealthy who have only recently moved in. They all begin to receive postcards which say "We want what you have". They react to this in different ways.
