When a city sleeps, it dreams. This is the stage when work ceases, the factories and offices close and the individuals return to their homes. There the talking begins, reciting the events of the day, the TV is switched on, people make their way to the pubs, the stadia, the games courts, and the ‘entertainment’ begins. Theatres, cinemas music halls and churches fill up with people who are experiencing ‘by proxy’. Millions are laughing, sighing, feeling afraid all at the same time.

This is the city dreaming. Dreaming in myths involving supermen who win against the odds, beautiful princess who turns the beast into a prince with a kiss. Heroes who can stride 10 leagues. All our games and programmes can probably be reduces to about 10 different basic myths.
