As Darren sets out to examine the power imbalance that lies at the heart of social class, he begins to wonder whether the system is rigged - and, if so, what can be done?

Meeting a living history buff, he finds out how class was first militarised by the Roman Army – a legacy which carries through today in the British Army. Returning to his Pollok birthplace, he meets two anti-poll tax aristocrats who fought Margaret Thatcher's government over their policy and travels to Inverclyde to witness a community battling rampant health inequalities and the legacy of the coronavirus pandemic.

Setting his sights on the workplace, Darren discusses the worrying increase in suicide and meets a campaign group trying to challenge the seemingly unstoppable rise of zero-hours contracts.

Over a gentlemanly game of polo, Darren finds out how the ‘other side’ views things, meeting Scotland’s first ever homegrown billionaire to ask if philanthropy is the answer. And he touches one of the big live wires in this debate - corporate evasion versus benefit fraud. Why is one lionised and the other demonised? Is it power to the people? Or does it depend on who the people are?
