Years and Years review – a glorious near-future drama from Russell T DaviesTrump gets a second term, robots perform sexual favours and humans can upload their minds to the cloud in Davies’ thrilling new show, which follows one family from 2019 to 2034 It's not 'thrilling' it looks from the trailers to be totally lacking in any reality about the future, clearly the writer hasn't a clue what's happening to the environment nor of the timescale for collapse. Easier to obsess about robots and sex and ignore the scary stuff.

The other side of Black Mirror: literary utopias offer the seeds of better real lifeThe rule of cynics and nihilists has led us to a dangerous place, where everything from healthcare to wind farms is declared intrusive, big-state meddling Great read, LOVED it. A utopia where everything works out and life is good doesn't make a good read. It's also arguable that reading/seeing the dystopias that most fiction creates gives us the warnings to steer away from. Are you more likely to avoid touching fire if you've seen its effect or not? My dear Melody? I believe her without a shadow of doubt.
