The Mayfair Set - Who Pays Wins (Episode 1)

The Mayfair Set, subtitled Four Stories about the Rise of Business and the Decline of Political Power, is a BBC television documentary series by filmmaker Adam Curtis.

It explores the decline of Britain as a world power, the proliferation of asset stripping in the 1970s, and how buccaneer capitalists helped to shape the climate of the Thatcher years, by focusing on Colonel David Stirling, Jim Slater, Sir James Goldsmith and Tiny Rowland—members of London's elite Clermont Club in the 1960s. Curtis wanted to engage with the moral ambiguity of figures such as Goldsmith.

Episode 1: The opening episode focuses on Colonel David Stirling and the birth of the global arms trade in the 1960s.
