A tape has appeared on a desk in the Radio 4 office. No-one is sure how it got there. All that was written on it were five words: 'A warning from the future'. Some of the tape is damaged, but what remains is played out because the budget won鈥檛 stretch to repairing it. Put together in haste by a 鲍鱼tv producer decades from now and narrated by an artificially intelligent Michael Buerk, Pillar of Salt looks back over the shoulder of the intervening years and shines a light on why and how everything crumbled into dust.

From the makers of the Moral Maze and The Skewer, this is the story of our time viewed through a cracked retrospectoscope. Featuring a host of recognisable voices, it will examine society鈥檚 ethical and moral conundrums via bogus talking heads, fake archive footage, and made-up news broadcasts, as we chart everything that happened between now and then.
