Full Story Synopsis

You'll all have read Andrew Pixley's synopsis in "TV Zone" won't you? Well, I've got permission to reprint it now, so watch this space. Episodes one and three are set 'in the real world' whereas the action in episode two alternates between there and Tarot's dream. Presumably the complexity of recording this episode, plus the extra sets needed solely for this instalment is the reason it had a day in the studio all to itself rather with the first and third being recorded together afterwards.
