2.15pm R4 Wouldn't it be fantastic if you could hop inside a machine that would transport you to Australia in just five minutes? Well, yes - if you'd be happy to have your body cells destroyed and become a "perfect replication" of yourself at the other end. There's a distinctly Orwellian feel to Matt Bloom's drama,set just 17 years in the future, with governments assuming terrifying powers over the people of the world. So don't be fooled by the opening scene (which sounds like your average middle-class dinner party), nor by the regular scatterings of dark humour (including sarcastic Australian vicar presiding over a wedding where the groom has selected Metallica as best suited to voicing his feelings of love). This is a very dark and, ultimately, extremely bleak story of a mother's desperate attempt to get to her son's wedding, and of the price she has to pay when her "instant flight" runs into technical difficulties.

Stewart Henderson presents the problem-solving programme and helps to provide some answers to those intriguing questions from everyday life.
