A misfit female scientist, three clones (two human, one mostly canine), and other oddballs thwart an evil scientist in this frenzied British import. Although the comic writing is strong, the plot is often dizzying. Fans of logic and linear tellings will be put off, but lovers of the ludicrous should enjoy this and its promised sequel.
