Capital Season 1 Episodes
Season 1 Episode Guide
Episode 1 - Episode 1To the outside world, the residents of Pepys Road have it all. House prices have rocketed, creating a street of multi-million pound homes... However, life’s other problems don’t go away just because you’ve won the property lottery. Petunia (Gemma Jones) is growing increasingly worried that her dizzy spells don’t seem to be going away, but doesn’t want to turn to her daughter Mary (Lesley Sharp) for help. Meanwhile, Roger (Toby Jones), banker and supposed family man, is hoping that this year’s bonus might bring him and his wife Arabella (Rachael Stirling) happiness – or at least be able to cover the cost of Bogdan (Rad Kaim) and all the renovations he’s been doing on the house. Elsewhere, local shopkeeper Ahmed (Adeel Akhtar) is hoping that his brothers Shahid (Danny Ashok) and Usman (Hamza Jeetooa) might finally start to take some responsibility and make something of their lives. Whilst Quentina (Wanmi Mosaku), traffic warden and asylum seeker is just looking to keep her head down – while being abused by the Pepys Road residents she is ticketing. All of this is watched by the successful but secretive Smitty (Robert Emms), an artist who shares his own personal connection to Pepys Road. Normal life on a normal street. At least, that is, until a mysterious note bearing the words ‘We Want What You Have’ is dropped through every letterbox. Who has sent the message? And are they still watching the residents? Before long, the ripples caused by the note will have touched every corner of the community – and the residents of Pepys Road will see their lives transformed.

But whilst DI Mill (Bryan Dick) searches for a breakthrough, other forces continue to transform the fortunes of many of the road’s inhabitants. Returning home after her Christmas sojourn, Arabella is troubled to discover that Roger is refusing to fall into line – and worse, rather than getting the house in order himself, he’s hired the attractive Matya (Zrinka Cvitesic) to help with the kids. Meanwhile, Petunia’s illness continues to deteriorate, causing Smitty to reveal a big secret to his ailing grandmother. But her sickness doesn’t mean that old resentments are just swept away, and Mary is left struggling to cope with the decline in her mother’s health. When the Kamal brothers learn that their mother, Mrs. Kamal (Shabana Azmi) is planning to visit, Shahid hatches a plan to finally get rid of Iqbal. Whilst elsewhere, Bogdan’s womanising causes difficulties between him and Piotr (Krystian Godlewski), and Mashinko is desperate to learn of the fate that has befallen Quentina.
