Beleaguered controversial northern post-industrial amnesiac dot.communist entrepreneur Ray Christmas resides herbaholically in just one of his edge-of-the-city mansions where, holed up with his unwitting personal pharmacist, cinematographer and biographer, the two manage to leverage his global majority shareholding in the totally fixed and failing Baby-bond futures market by selling the crudely written, filmed and directed feline soap opera – “The Archie & Cilla Show” – to an overindulgent media conglomerate.
