Trevor Hard - Try to his friends - likes to think he is just an ordinary chap. Yes he does have a few quirky rules about threes, and OK, he hears voices in his head, but besides that, his life is pretty uneventful as a civil servant. The problem for him is women or, to be more precise, the lack of them. After taking advice from a friend, Try sets off on a holiday to France for some cherchez la femme but pretty soon he realises he is being followed and from then on, things start to get a little difficult. Being chased by the police is one thing, but being pinned down by a sex-mad dog and its owner whilst trying to impress the most beautiful girl in the world is perhaps one challenge too many? Anyone who has ever had dealings with, or worked amongst local government will appreciate Trevor Richard Yashati Hard and his council of internal advisors who never quite seem to agree. Although some of his mishaps may well be of his own making, it has to be said that he is a rather unfortunate fellow where, were there slightest ambiguity regarding his luck, it would take the worse course available.
