This may be bollox, but would a knackered DME relay not do this? (speaking as someone who carries one around in the usual paranoid fashion but to date has not had a problem!)
You are quite right this is bollox. The man clearly said the engine does not turn over. A faulty DME relay would have the engine spinning but not firing.

I can't believe you chaps dont know about the DME relay thing!?!
Why would we?
We've got reliable 996s.
DME relay = £30
RMS = £££££££££££££££
RMS = FOC (plus free car wash)
Plus a free pint , if we can get you to turn up to our 'Don't talk your car down' piss up.
Update;
It's probably not the starter motor as the car won't 'jump start' (Assuming the imobiliser isn't gone completely gaga.)
He's put a new battery in with no success .. The alarm went off , he switched it off as you guys described with 'the little key' .. still no joy.
Is there anything special that needs to be done when changing battery , to ensure the imobiliser isn't doing it's thing and preventing the engine from starting anyway??

I recently had the immobiliser control box(Scorpion) on a Subaru go tits up. Only way to get the car started was to bypass the immobiliser. This can be done by an auto-electrician or the AA/RAC. Apparently this is not an uncommon call out.
If it's not that it's looking like the starter motor or earth strap to the starter motor.
