'Academy' by David Brown

Network XXIII falls victim to illegal ‘Zipping’, as the channel’s satellite feed is hacked into and its programming hijacked. When Bryce informs his bosses that he has traced the zipping to its source, Big Time Television, it seems that the culprit is none other than Blank Reg. However, Carter and Theora remain unconvinced, and they mount their own investigation. While Reg is forced to take part in a televised trial on the game show ‘You the Jury’, Carter and Theora discover that the real zippers are Bryce’s old school friends at the Academy of Computer Sciences…
