As one of today's earnest executives setting out on a typical day's business, Stephen Kingsley (Andrew Sachs ) tunes into a new radio series that is trying to discover what happened to the 1960s predictions that by now we would be in an age of leisure - with a three-day working week and plenty of spare time. But Stephen's life is not like that at all. Far from the idleness and relaxation that was so confidently forecast, he is caught up instead in the relentless pace of the information age of the 90s.
