Written in letter from an obsessed fan to the TV game-show hostess he idolises, Yours Truly, Pierre Stone is a love story from the media age, a black comedy about a man trapped in a state of arrested childhood, fed by the cathode ray nipple of his television set.

The signed photo of his game-show love on the bedside table tells Pierre all he needs to know. The fact that they've never met doesn't change a thing. She loves him, she understands him, and she'll always be there for him.

When Pierre's mother dies, the girl inside the TV set becomes his world. Then gradually it dawns on him that, all this time, she hasn't been writing back. And he's not happy about it ...

Yours Truly, Pierre Stone is a witty and disturbing exploration of a world where minor celebraties are gods and HELLO! is the Bible.

"Chillingly funny - Yours Truly, Pierre Stone frightened the life out of me." - Pauline McLynn of Father Ted.
