BBC Radio 4 - Reluctant Persuaders, Series 2, Give a Man a Fish

The Hardacre ad agency attempts to do some charitable work.

Can London's worst advertising agency soothe their souls with some charitable work? Stars Nigel Haves. From April 2017.

The worst advertising agency team in London are on the lookout for a charity prepared to accept their work.

While Joe is determined to do some good in the world, Amanda and Hardacre are more interested in winning prestige and awards with a buzzy new charity campaign. 

As Joe and Teddy head out into the streets and soup kitchens of London, looking for the ground level stories that make a good campaign, Amanda and Hardacre spend an evening at a fundraiser organised by Hardacre's old brother in arms Bill Lessing. 

But where's he been for the last ten years? And what exactly does his charity do?

Edward Rowett's award-winning sitcom.
