To a massed audience of military and secret service hierarchy, in a bunker buried deep below a Tesco Metro, brilliant scientist Dr Victor Blenkinsop unveils the result of his life’s work: the first human clone.

Intended to be a prototype super soldier, who will eventually replace Britain’s volunteer Army, Victor discovers – to both his horror and distaste – that his new super weapon is not quite the awe-inspiring creation he expected. In fact, the clone is more likely to hug someone than shoot them.

BBC Three’s fish-out-of-water comedy revolves around the education of an innocent being who is seeing and experiencing our world for the first time. This modern-day Dr Frankenstein and his monster go on the run hoping to find the neurological trigger that will fix the clone and unlock his superhuman abilities.

Unfortunately, they must also avoid Colonel Black and his crack team of security agents, whose mission is to find them and kill them.

Dr Victor Blenkinsop is played by Jonathan Pryce, the Clone by Stuart McLoughlin, Colonel Black by Mark Gatiss, bartender Rose by Fiona Glascott and Ian, Dr Blenkinsop’s long-suffering assistant, by Oliver Maltman.
