The Party's Over

Sara Parker returns to Clapham, south London, where she went three years previously to report on the wealthy borough's inhabitants as they prepared for the annual fete. As the 2009 financial crisis bites, she returns to the Abbeville Village area, with its designer shops and restaurants, to meet up again with Frances and Melissa, two well-off and proactive mothers. She learns that a third, their friend Arlene, has since has moved to nearby Streatham in order to reduce her outgoings. Now fear of failure is in the air, and those who three years ago helped keep alive the expansive party atmosphere of Clapham en fete are worried. Sara asks if, for Abbeville Village, the party is now over?
