BBC Radio 4 - Reluctant Persuaders, Series 4, Episode 3: At Your Side

Nigel Havers stars, as Hardacre’s ad agency celebrates a birthday.

Starring Nigel Havers, Mathew Baynton, and Josie Lawrence. Hardacre’s ad agency celebrates a birthday, and finds you can’t choose your family.

It’s Teddy’s (Rasmus Hardiker) birthday, and Joe (Mathew Baynton) has pulled out all the stops to celebrate – even roping an unwilling Amanda (Josie Lawrence) and Hardacre (Nigel Havers) into the festivities.

The celebrations are interrupted by Teddy’s brother Frederick (Kieran Hodgson), who is determined the time has come for Teddy to make something of his life. But Teddy is more concerned about keeping a promise to Mr Hardacre, in an adventure with cowboys, spies, rock stars, and Milk Tray men.
