Book Synopsis

England''s comic master is in a black comic mode in this West End hit about our fascination with technology. It is sometime quite soon in a steel shuttered, slovenly flat in a no go area of North London where punks rule deserted streets. Here, a lonely composer sits surrounded by high tech equipment. His only company is a robot nanny, and she''s on the blink. He desperately wants to reclaim his teenage daughter and enlists an out of work actress to implement a cunning plan he''s evolved to impress his estranged wife and a wired for sound child welfare officer. When things don''t work out, Jerome has to improvise... It''s amazing what can be done with a few micro chips and a screwdriver!
