Series 1, Episode 4 - The Elderly

The elderly population finally outnumbers the young. The multiplexes are crammed full of sex romps starring Bill Nighy and soluble ham is a big seller. Soon, the Baby Boomers take over. While young people starve and suffer, they blow billions on sending Danny Baker to the moon (to celebrate the anniversary of Dark Side of the Moon). But the population stifles and the elderly take drastic measures to sole the problem, creating something called a Sentient Organ Sac. It doesn't go well.
