Alex's agony continues. Having been ruthlessly downsized from his beloved job in the City last year Alex finds himself still out of work. He explores a number of unsuccessful career avenues (headhunting, working in industry) and his colleague Clive is forced to undergo a disastrous spell as a Financial PR man. Finally comes the ultimate indignity when Alex has to withdraw his son Christopher from his exclusive private school. Will Alex and Clive manage to find gainful employment again before their high-maintenance wives divorce them? This latest collection of cartoons from the business pages of the Daily Telegraph will strike a chord with anyone in the financial community who has entertained the fear (or indeed reality) of unemployment as well as appealing to hardened Telegraph readers in the Shires.

Alex, the cartoon investment banker who resides on the business pages of the Daily Telegraph, emerges into a new Millennium just as arrogant and unpleasant as he was in the old. The City of London, where he plies his trade, lurches through the full Bust to Boom and Back Again economic cycle: the collapse of Russia and the Far East in 1998; the dotcom bubble; the non-event that was the Y2K bug; the predictable, yet unpredicted, burst of the dotcom bubble; and the reversion to familiar recessionary habits in 2001. Throughout this flux Alex exhibits all his traditional expertise: fabricating expense accounts, freeloading shamelessly at France 98 and the Rugby World Cup while orchestrating manoeuvres to maximise his Christmas bonus and placate his fractious client Mr Hardcastle. His hapless colleague Clive shows his customary absence of commercial acumen by opening a doomed restaurant and selling his soul to the Devil. Together they have to meet some of the challenges of the Twenty First Century: Robin, their infuriatingly computer literate graduate trainee, and the sartorial tyranny of permanent dress down.

It's been a dramatic year at international investment bank Megabank, as detailed on the business pages of the "Daily Telegraph". The wet and generally hopeless Clive's unlikely tenure as head of department comes to a predictable end and he is moved sideways to head up the non-existent department of Client Focus Liaison. Before too long, he finds himself once again out in the cold as he and Alex take a Christmas trip to the Land of Narnia. As bonus time comes round, Alex will stop at nothing to enhance his prospects: even to the extent of embarking on an affair with a female client. However, to his dismay, his new boss proves to be a workaholic and frankly, quite mad American. This title features all this plus a celebrity cameo from Prince William as Megabank's work experience summer intern.
