When stand-up comedian Ian Smith read the headline "GIRL RESCUED" in his local paper, The Goole Times, he wasn鈥檛 expecting to read about a young girl trapped in a basketball hoop. The article went on to say that this was the third time in as many months that a girl had to be prized from the rim of a basketball hoop in his home town. Maybe this wasn鈥檛 your regular teenage horseplay in the local basketball courts - Ian wondered if something more sinister was going on.

This is the story of his investigation into what happened, and more importantly, why it happened. It's not just a quest for the truth behind these "self-dunking" incidents but also a soul-searching examination of the lives of the teenagers of Goole and a probe into the psyche of people across the world who choose to squeeze themselves through small spaces.

Ian leaves no stone unturned as he asks the tough (and not so tough) questions to guests including his local MP, the education specialist Adele Bates author of "Miss I Don't Give a Sh*t", comedian Jessica Fostekew and the world famous contortionist, Captain Frodo.
