Synopsis

Ask Bob: A journey into the unique and troubled mind of Bob Servant, and the definitive title from the 'Hero of Dundee'.
     Bob Servant has become the star of three books, a radio show, a television series during a lifetime spent securing his undisputed status as the Hero Of Dundee and the Bard of Broughty Ferry. The local business giant and universally respected ladies man first found fame with an acclaimed hat trick of books establishing him as Scotland's new man of letters while his BBC Radio 4 adaptation, The Bob Servant Emails, saw Bob seize the nation's airwaves. Bob Servant (BBC4) sees Bob's voice, eyes and, most importantly, walk unleashed on a grateful Blighty.
     Finally, after many years and several requests, Bob has distiled his unique philosophy into a single book. This essential reading will include chapters on Love, Money, Sex, Relationships, Family, Work, Health, a bit more Sex and others. Bob generously shares his real-life emails, diary entries, detailed diagrams and court transcripts, all to solve the problems of his fans around the world.
     As ever, Neil Forsyth edits the book, diligently pulling up supporting material for Servant's claims. Local newspaper articles, transcripts of court proceedings and reports of his attempted fact-checking with an increasingly defiant Bob. As always when editing a Bob book, it will become clear Bob is driving his editor to the very brink of insanity.
