Malcolm could easily come across as a lonely and reclusive misfit. People who would choose to judge him, could mistake him for some kind of an idiot, but let’s have it right, Malcolm is actually a master of all things technical and quite the professor when it comes to engineering and gadgets. A tram-spotter living alone in inner-Melbourne after the death of his mother, he loses his dream job with the Tramways after he takes a joy ride in his own mini tram (worthy of anything Q could create for Mr. Bond). If it wasn’t for the locals keeping an eye on Malcolm he would probably end up in deep trouble having no income or prospects. To help with his cash situation, Malcolm advertises for a lodger. Fresh from a stay at Her Majesty’s big house arrives Frank, swiftly followed by his girlfriend Judith. The pair are initially stunned by Malcolm’s collection of gadgets and inventions, but soon enough the three become firm friends. When Frank decides it is time to get back to robbing and stealing, he can think of no better designer for his getaway car than Malcolm. - Director:
