The Consultants Series 2
Episode 1 of 6

Chesney ends a hostile takeover using marriage. Cerebral sketch show with Neil Edmond and Justin Edwards. From November 2003.

Time to hark back to a gentler age of radio when Archie Strutz and His Swinging Nuts were a favourite on the BBC Home Service and folktales sang of rustic careers "where the tales are our seed and the sod is your ears".

The Consultants are Neil Edmond, Justin Edwards and James Rawlings.

In 2002 they won the Perrier Best Newcomer Award ... and had to brace themselves for the inevitable backlash.

Producer: Will Saunders

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in November 2003.
