I have been waiting years for dear old BBC to issue this radio series on CD. Here we have the first series on 3 cds [the only gripe being that there are only 5 episodes, so cd3 only has one episode on it, which seems a bit stingy] but boy, was it worth the wait! Unthinkable Solutions are the firm to call in if your business is failing, losing money and market share... after they have worked their unique brand of magic, you are sure to see the firm go to the wall, but only after they've got their huge fee that is! I think that the series got better and better, with the characters more fully rounded later on, epecially David Webb as Owen, the complete computer geek. I fell deeply for the voice of Daisy [Catherine Shepherd] who is so 'earnest' it hurts. "Look I know how to deal with conflict - I did a number of workshops and seminars in Bosnia". Marcus Brigstocke is, as ever, in his element as Ryan, coming up with the most wonderful double-speak and corporate management twaddle you have ever heard...unless you happen to work in PR that is, in which case it will all make perfect sense. I loved some of the absurd psycho babble and new-age thinking... "Sophie, since we had the office de-magnetised, has your bank card worked? No, neither has mine...". I really hope the BBC issue the rest of the series as my personal favourite episode was "Brunel Insurance" that I found bed-wettingly funny. If you like the absurd comedy of the best BBC4 has to offer, then you could do no wrong buy buying this, it's great.
