Love Lucy, Love Lucy

Three generations of Charleston Monrow's family had been killed in a car crash. They had been on their way to see him at Oxford University. It had a catastrophic effect on Charleston; he barely scraped through his degree in English. He had been offered a job at the Daily Mail but it was dependent upon him getting a first class degree. When he achieved only a third class, Bent Boghammer IV, editor of the Daily Mail, said he wouldn't wipe his ass on a third class degree. As events transpired, Charleston and his girlfriend, Lucy, end up as roadies in Australia, working for a band called The Drumbeats. They were very big down under. Some of the equipment was damaged in the sea voyage to Australia. Charleston, a whizz with electronics, managed to repair the equipment and the band played to a sell-out concert at the Sydney Opera House.
