The film unlocks the occult world of 'Dealers' and explodes the myths of drug taking in London. "It's just like Pizza Hut or Dominoes, 30 minutes guaranteed delivery", says a dealer known as the Ticketman.

The programme shatters the common assumption that drug consumption is primarily the endeavour of a wasted and damaged fringe. It also shows how far cocaine is not the play thing of only wealthy celebrities.

A quarter of a million Britons flock there each year, and with them come the drugs and British drug dealers.

This film gives a glimpse into the dark side of Ibiza, one which the authorities would rather was kept quiet.

The programme exposes an island that has become a multi-million pound "white paradise" for the many drug dealers who flock to the island to make a living during the summer months.
