In 1820s Sussex, amateur geologist Gideon Mantell finds something nobody can explain. It looks like a huge tooth - but what kind of creaturedid it belong to? And how does it fit into the story of an earth created by God just 6,000 years ago?Based on the true story of one man's battle to be heard, this is the 19th century as you've never seen it - filled with scientific endeavour, bitterrivalry and terrible lizards.It's 1961 and the concrete's just been poured for a brand-new housing estate. It's beautiful, not because of the clean lines, indoor toilets and widewindows, but because the idea behind it is beautiful. This is the future, and it's for everyone.It's 2018 and the last tower of the estate is about to come down. The dream that saw it built has long since died and now the estate has tofollow suit to make way for new buildings, based on new ideas. This is the future, whether you like it or not.
