Clone

Episode 5: Dude

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC ThreeLatest broadcast: on BBC Three

Comedy series revolving around the education of the first human clone, an innocent being who is seeing and experiencing our world for the first time.

Intended to be a prototype super soldier who will eventually replace Britain's volunteer Army, his creator, the brilliant scientist Dr Victor Blenkinsop 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.

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.

Victor constructs a cortical remapping device to fix Clone based on the information he learned about Rose's brain. Victor also deals with something he learned during Rose's brain scan, the fact that she seems to be in love with him. Clone learns about the concept of being cool. Show less
