It's all about the ratings in the world of TV. Therefore the BBC, part of the British televisual establishment since TV was invented, feels it has nothing to fear from a new internet channel. However those in control don't understand what – and who – is behind this new phenomenon. The mysterious Rasmus has a plan and some savagely innovative ideas; nothing can stand in his way.
English born and Welsh adopted [[:Category:P J PJ Vanston|P J Vanston]] has a broad writing CV to be proud of including the Welsh football team song for the 2016 Euros, the biting academic satire of [[Crump by PJ Vanston|Crump]] and the sweet, fun story that is [[A Cat Called Dog by Jem Vanston|A Cat Called Dog]]. Now, with ''Rasmus…'' he goes back to satire and brings us something that's bold, bloody and possibly even scarily prophetic.
PJ gradually draws us into a tale about an obscure online TV station that dares compete against the BBC. Rasmus' brainchild is lean, media manipulative and technologically savvy. Pitted against the BBC, a respected organisation that's lasted decades, our money would be on the Corporation however Auntie Beeb isn't what she was.
