Remotely — James Collins

'Remotely' pokes fun at British reality television. "There are more plays on words and double-entendres than a Carry On film or a seaside postcard. It had me smiling, giggling and laughing out loud - a real feel good story." Britain's newest and most pointless TV talent competition is coming to Middlestone-On-Sea. 'So You Think We're Remotely Interested?' has taken Friday night viewers by storm as it streams live variety shows from remote, provincial theatres across Britain. The theatre with the most audience votes wins regeneration and revival, and lord knows, Middlestone-on-Sea needs both. The dying seaside backwater rests its hopes on the performance of two ex-best friends, gay Gary and straight Stag. The visiting celebrity judge, the mysterious and timeless Miss P, knows that for all to be well, they must mend their broken friendship. But there is no success without trial. She magically swaps Gary and Stag into each other's bodies. Secrets are learned, comedy ensues, and yet the community remains divided. Rifts must be healed, differences accepted, and bodies swapped back before the season grand finale in four days' time otherwise Middlestone will lose everything. "Once you start on James Collins' coming of age, body-swap comedy, you won't be remotely interested in putting it down." G. J. Mugwatch MP Some Amazon reviews for James Collins "Brilliantly observed and a wicket wit." "Lots of laughs and loads of page turning moments. Yes, it was hard to put down." "Another unputdownable book that had me engrossed from beginning to end, and chuckling." "Finished this book yesterday and oh so amusing, would love to see it as a film." "More, I want more! I truly could not put this book down."
