Egghead's robot

A very funny comedy about Paul “Egghead” Wentworth, the son of an inventor, who makes a look-a-like robot to do his chores and replace him at sports. All goes well until the robot is named “cricketer of the year”, then blows a fuse in the compost heap! Written by Leif Saxon. Rated: G
