Toby Welliver is a professional fan and expert on cult television, as
well as author of 12 little-read biographies about obscure TV
celebrities and host of the podcast ?The First Cult is the Deepest'.
He's also beginning to realise he was late to the party, and the glory
days he treasures are already history.
Invited to contribute to a ?Then and Now' documentary being filmed
in the same location as the show all those years ago, Toby gathers
with cast and crew from the show, all gathering for another
paycheck on their past triumphs.
And as Toby enters a world of hatchets far from buried, internecine
warfare and virulent grudges his research into the show uncovers
the unexplained death of a young woman during filming. Only 5
people were present at her death, all of them with Toby. And there's
only 3 days of filming left...
Hell hath no fury like a nerd scorned - expect top-drawer farce,
dead pan gags and the finest puns known to mankind.
