Noah’s Castle, adapted by Nick McCarty from a young adult novel by John Rowe Townsend and produced and directed by Colin Nutley, followed the story of the Mortimer family and their trials and tribulations in a world where financial ruin on a national scale is just around the corner. Food prices are rocketing, angry mobs roam the streets and rubbish remains uncollected (a familiar sight in the real world “winter of discontent” of 1978-1979, when widespread industrial action by public sector trade unions threatened to bring the country to its knees). Dad Norman (David Neal), a former soldier and now a shoe salesman, sees the collapse coming and moves the family to a huge house on the edge of town – the castle of the title – and begins hoarding food and other supplies.

Well, that was depressing! I sincerely hope that they made the father be less of a twat in the TV series.
It misses the current point, though: apparently it’s just the UK in (inflationary) crisis, and at the appropriate moment “ships from Calais” are expected to arrive.
You read it already?? I haven't even finished the TV show 👀
