Somebody in the UK has read too many Issac Asimov novels!

Don't you mean too many Karel Capek plays?

Ha. I remember reading an adaptation of that a long time ago. If I remember right it was in I, Robot and Other Stories, a compilation of mostly Asimov tales, including some very old ones written under his original nome de plume, Paul French.

The premise seemed corny back when I read it, and it still does today. But these people have hijacked an 85 year old theme and marketed it as their own original thought. To what end, I don't know.
