Episode notes

Episode five of the LSD saga about an attempt to spark a revolution of the mind. Richard and Christine receive their sentences, along with the rest of the Microdot Gang. But what’s the legacy of their great LSD plot? Kate, a friend of Christine’s recalls her own complicated experiences with the drug. In the 1970s it’s estimated that around 60% of the world’s LSD came from one place: Wales. This is the story of the Microdot Gang - a rag tag group of chemists, dealers, businessmen and hippy dreamers. They believed that acid had the power to save the world. Narrated by Rhys Ifans (House of the Dragon, Notting Hill, Harry Potter) and starring Hannah Murray (Game of Thrones, Skins), Acid Dream is written by Welsh playwright Tim Price and features original music from Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys.
