There was a drama-doc in the 90s, set in 2014, in which there was a huge surge of immigrants from North Africa trying to get to Europe, and the EU debating measures to stop them. They got that spot-on. Another drama-doc, back in the 60s and repeated decades later, around 2000, accurately predicted the gentrification of parts of the East End of London.
