Description

Alastair Strange is having trouble. His girlfriend Martha, tired of late night telly and takeaway pizzas, has reinvented herself as the real estate princess of Putney.

His dream job has turned into a nightmare and his Dad's been arrested for burglary.

Just when things couldn't get worse, along comes Alastair's old friend, society It-girl Tara, with a tantalising job offer.

Alastair finds himself teaching media studies in an Ealing school.

A cushy number, he thinks, but that's before Tara calls the favour in- The derelict Ealing Studios are next to the school - their presence haunts Alastair and acts as a continual motif for his story, combining the quirky wit and eccentricity of the Ealing films with an eye for the absurdities of modern urban life.

Flat-sharing with the impossible Davenport, dealing with mysterious girls on the bus and disastrous blind dates, it would seem that there is, perhaps, one last comedy left in Ealing.
