Series One
Two people (Serge and Plummet) escape from a mental hospital. Josef Serge insists he is perfectly sane - he'd gone to his doctor complaining of stress, and was kidnapped and put in a secret Mental Research Lab.

But in "Crazy World" - the 30th century's most popular news tabloid - Serge sees his own picture and reads a newsflash that he and Plummet are psychotic and very dangerous people, who must be recaptured.

As Serge and Plummet battle against the authorities, the question is, who is crazy: them or the Crazy World they have entered?

And later, why not play some Crazy World games?
