PLAYAWAY: It is later this century. A global company, LifeCorp, controls the earth's depleted natural resources and makes all the important decisions. Robots do most of the everyday tasks. When the Bell family's much-loved robot, Mr Grump, starts to go wrong, Mr Bell brings Eager home to help him. Eager is an experiment, EGR3. He was built to learn from his experiences, like a human child. He can choose what to do. What will the Bell family, used to more old-fashioned, traditional robots, make of Eager? And how can he ever compete with the glamorous new BDC4s?
