  It's been a dramatic year at international investment bank Megabank, as detailed on the business pages of the Daily Telegraph . The wet and generally hopeless Clive's unlikely tenure as head of department comes to a predictable end and he is moved sideways to head up the non-existent department of Client Focus Liaison. Before too long, he finds himself once again out in the cold as he and Alex take a Christmas trip to the Land of Narnia.

This title features all this plus a celebrity cameo from Prince William as Megabank's work experience summer intern.
