Tropical Moon Over Dorking
A Limehouse production for Channel 4
Synopsis
On a beautiful tropical beach, Rex, an
incredibly handsome brain surgeon and Camilla, an impossibly beautiful
ballerina, declare their undying love for each other.
But the course of
true love never runs smoothly, and Rex and Camilla's problems can only be solved
in Dorking, where Myra Foster, their creator, sits at her word processor and tries
to write her latest romantic novel.
But real life has a nasty habit of
intruding on Myra's world of chaste heroines and heroes.
