![[scene is SATURDAY KITCHEN, with the normal set of Saturday Kitchen, except it’s in a cave, and the guest chef is a kind of semi-human creature called MORLOCK, and the host is H G Wells]
1
H G WELLS:
Hello I’m HG Wells and welcome to Saturday Kitchen.
So with me today is Morlock!
MORLOCK
Helloo
H G WELLS:
Now tell me a bit about yourself, Morlock
MORLOCK:
Well I’m an future sub-branch of humanity that lives underground in the year 802,701.
HG WELLS:
Wonderful!
[Close up on what Morlock is cooking - a pale, veal-like steak in the frying pan]
MORLOCK:
And today I'm cooking Eloi, which is the my rival species of human, from above the ground.
[Wells makes a frozen face of realisation]
MORLOCK
Eloi are beautifully soft and easy to hunt
Because they’ve gone weak with over-reliance on technology!
HG WELLS:
Oh god. Did - did you -
MORLOCK:
It’s super local meat too - I bagged this one last night, just outside my lair.
[Cut to a scene above ground at night - Morlock emerges from his hole in the ground]
[He approaches an Eloi - a pale, weak-looking human - sat at a desk with a computer on it]
ELOI [talking to his computer]:
Hey Chat -
Write me an email to Jess in accounts about -
12
[Morlock grabs the Eloi]
13
[Cut back to HG Wells and Morlock at the Saturday Kitchen tasting table, tucking into the Eloi meat]
HG WELLS:
It’s kind of like veal!

Wide shot of the BRITISH MUSEUM. There are suggestions of fascism around the streets - tanks, barricades, an Orwellian 'Big Brother'-style poster on a wall. A voice of a TOUR GUIDE emanates from the museum:
TOUR GUIDE:
So the Tapestry tells acrucial chapter of our nation's history...
2
[Cut to interior of museum. A long Bayeaux-style TAPESTRY is on display, and the Tour Guide is speaking to a tour group]
TOUR GUIDE [smiling]:
How modern fascist Britain was created.
3
TOUR GUIDE:
The Tapestry begins here with the 2008 Crash, then austerity, then the AI Crash...
4
TOUR GUIDE:
...and by the end of the room it's just full-on fash.
5
CHILD IN TOUR GROUP [gesturing to the tapestry]:
What's this middle bit?
TOUR GUIDE:
This is the 2026 Battle of Legitimate Concerns
6
TOUR GUIDE:
[show a reporter standing next to the Dover protests]
Here's the media saying the government have got to do something about the legitimate concerns...
7
CHILD:
...About the failure of capitalism?
TOUR GUIDE:
No about brown people on boats
8
CHILD:
[pointing at boats crossing the sea on the tapestry]
Are these boats the mega-dinghies?
TOUR GUIDE:
Not all of them
9
[we see one of the boats is a giant yacht]
TOUR GUIDE:
That one's a superyacht,
carrying money from the American fascists to the British ones.
10
TOUR GUIDE:
You see really it's as much a story of convergence as it is of conflict.
[An alarm sounds in the museum]
DING DING DING DING
11
TOUR GUIDE:
Ok, tour over everyone
12
TOUR GUIDE:
It's time for the Two Minute Hate!
[They all leave the museum]
