In the tradition of Squid Game and The Hunger Games welcome to the dystopian future of mass entertainment in 2084 for a counselling show with a difference: Patient vs Counsellor. Where the counsellor must guess the patient's serious psychosexual problem to win a star prize, or face humiliatingly Forfeit-Fun.

On tonight's show we have three contestants: Katy, a former beauty queen now obese, counselled by Captain Stanislav Boglosovic, a former military interrogator; Tony O'Brien, a young hoodlum, counselled by Richard Thornaby aka Odin, a mentally-challenged paedophile; and Matthew Meaks, an unemployed alcoholic former schoolteacher counselled by Sister Mary Elizabeth Xavier, a former nun.

Meanwhile, on the Porn Stage we have a re-enactment of the Enuma Elish where the viewer has to guess how many sexual positions an expert spiritual couple attempt. And Judge Pickles fights to have the show banned and taken off the air immediately.

Packed full of surprises, this shockingly dark satire is not for the faint-hearted, and will have you on the edge of your seat in horror at the outrage live on stage in Wembley Arena, as if you were there, or one of the contestants.

For the first time, Book 1: Katy's Loss, Book 2: Tony's Cross and Book 3: Matt's Shadow are presented in one bumper volume omnibus edition with a special bonus chapter.
