We meet the editor, Kate Reardon, a self-confessed 'honking, great Sloane', and her features team, who are all expected to be well-versed in the rules of upper-class life. We follow the newest addition to the Tatler team, writer Mathew Bell, over his first few months at the magazine as he tries to find his feet and go from middle-class outsider to privileged insider.
We see the team put together an issue, and follow them on shoots and key social events to meet the people featured in their pages, such as Lord Glasgow in his 13th-century castle in Scotland or Nigerian millionaire Kola Karim, who has no idea how many cars he owns.

Tatler has a small but loyal readership and the magazine is keen to appeal to younger readers. We meet the new generation of Britain's upper class - the most privileged young people in the world who are likely to go on to be the ruling elite. We see the well-bred crowd come together at Tatler's iconic Bystander Teen Ball - a key event for any aspiring young toff.
