Scrooby is a well-meaning but flawed young man who is desperately trying to better himself through his own website, where he's left his web diaries.
Scrooby Trevithick went missing on the 1st of January 2008. He left behind no notes - just his beloved MP3 player - the MP3 player that he used to record everything that happened to him and his best mate Walshie. It is these recordings we hear in Series 1.
The 2nd series continues to follow the exploits of the hapless (but no longer lost) Scrooby. Each episode features him trying another pastime or possible new venture. This time, he is helped by his good friend, Sasha. Sadly, each new venture doesn't go the way Scrooby had planned and, in so doing, he gets increasingly frustrated at his lack of success.
