== Synopsis ==
All about arch-blogger and wargaming enthusiast "Andrew Glasgow"

== From Radio Times ==
For time reasons- and fear of what psychosexual, sci-fi stimulated garbage I might innocently stumble across- I have never read a blog site, not even one of the many my still-single,middle-aged male friends have sent me links to in recent years. Young writers Kris Dyer and Dave Marks have joined forces with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy producer Dirk Maggs to create this surreal sitcom, with a satirical twist on the multifaceted absurdities created by the free for all nature of the internet.

Caroline Quentin takes on all the female roles, which include the terrifying Czech mother of our anti-hero Andrew Glasgow (played with disturbingly nerdy accuracy by Andy Taylor). He spends his life writing speculative articles for his local paper, while cruising the internet for available women and listening to the soothing tones of Chris de Burgh or Eric "Slowhand" Clapton. When Andrew finally secures an internet date it is, of course, destined to end in predictable but joyfully painful disaster:the luscious-sounding beauty with an aristocratic name is not quite what he was expecting.

"Exquisitely cruel satirical comedy. This is original and twisted and the don't-miss comedy appointment of the week"

'''RADIO TIMES'''

"This is the funniest sitcom since Ed Reardon's Week"

'''THE SUNDAY TIMES'''

"Likely to strike a chord with computer-slaves everywhere"

'''OBSERVER'''

"... has the verve that made Little Britain, The Mighty Boosh, Seven Storeys High, Dead Ringers and That Mitchell and Webb Sound

all genuine and deserved radio hits before television paid them heaps more money and squashed the life out of the lot of them."

'''TELEGRAPH'''

"... much funnier than Mitchell & Webb ... has the verve that made Little Britain, The Mighty Boosh and Dead Ringers all genuine and deserved radio hits before television squashed the life out of the lot of them."

'''GILLIAN REYNOLDS, Daily Telegraph, 8th May 2007'''

"The best comedy on radio since ED REARDON'S WEEK ..."

'''PAUL DONOVAN, Sunday Times, 7th May 2007'''
