A mid-80s sitcom set in the publishing house, Roache & Brewer, where erudite, naïve Colin Luscombe fights an uphill battle with his bluff MD, Rees John. Colin wants to inform and educate the world, whilst Rees is only interested in the bottom line. "Forget literature," says Rees to Colin, "concentrate on books." Stuck in the middle is Janet Hunt.
