by Steve Gallagher
with Michael Jayston, Catherine Kessler
In the strange world of the 22nd century, Maverick Lesterman is a highly developed computerised human 'meat machine' - employed by a multi-national company. When he is involved in an unpleasant accident on board a spaceship, he is returned to earth to be 'comforted' by Esther Anderson, a 17-year-old clone. However, the dispassionate world of the company is suddenly shattered when Maverick, relieved from the pressure of drugs and hypnosis, rediscovers areas of his submerged personality with frightening consequences.

Read by Vivien Merchant * She saw the astonishment in his eyes, and when she spoke her voice did not quite register the levity she had intended. " Perhaps we'd better make a date for same time, same place on Monday ... unless you want twins or something by this time next year." " Oh God no! " At home he'd even checked the marked calendar on the inside of his wardrobe. But this was a calendar you could never quite rely on.' ProducerJUDITH ELLIOTT BBC Northern Ireland
