Chris Warburton examines the history of ecstasy, it's arrival in the UK, the involvement of organised crime, policing, and and its impact on rave culture. One Story. Half real life. Half drama. Welcome to Ecstasy: The Battle Of Rave.

In this first episode: the very first MDMA pills hit Britain. Ecstasy fuses with the music of Acid House - and four ordinary people's lives are changed forever.

Then drama, in the first part of a series of stories written by Danny Brocklehurst. Meera Syal as The Raver: She's Mrs Ordinary now. But offer her an E, and she might just bite your hand off. All because there's a hole she has to fill.

Finally Chris speaks to producer and DJ Paul Oakenfold about the impact of ecstasy and rave culture on the music scene.

All characters portrayed by the dramatic actors are fictional. This programme contains strong language and references to drug use.
