(Even a wizard has to TUE diversify). He's been running Fruity Potions from his cave TUE for the past few years, in between completing the odd quest TUE as instructed by the Wizard Council. In the past his TUE services were to help kings in battles of good and evil, or TUE as he prefers to put it, assisting with neighbour disputes TUE Cast: TUE Mordrin: David Kay TUE Geoff: Gordon Kennedy TUE Heather: Cora Bissett TUE Councillor Campbell: Callum Cuthbertson TUE Flora: Eleanor Thom TUE Jim The Joiner: Grant O' Rourke TUE Producer/Director: Gus Beattie TUE A Comedy Unit production for BBC Radio 4.

He is able to see the good in every situation, the WED silver lining within every cloud, the bright side to every WED bit of bad news. WED This, however, is his downfall. Someone for whom the glass WED is always half-full can be difficult to live with, as his WED wife of 19 years, Jacqui or "Jax" (played by Rebecca Front), WED knows all too well. Even when life deals Harvey and the WED Easter family a series of sadistic blows, be it a terminal WED illness, a pyromaniac neighbour or a perpetually unfinished WED extension, Harvey looks on the positive side. It's WED pathological with him. WED The way Jax sees it, instead of dealing with the problems of WED their marriage and the two kids - restless, difficult, WED fickle, hypochondriac junior would-be junkie/terrorist WED Robbie, 16, and street-talking, ambitionless, hip-hop WED soon-to-be-ex-sixth-former Charlie, 17 - Harvey's optimism WED ("it'll be fine") is actually his way of avoiding engagement WED with the big issues. WED His days as assistant sales manager at a WED Ringfence-Upon-Thames piano shop called Old Joanna's Pianos WED must surely be numbered, his extension doesn't have a roof WED or a side wall, and - although he doesn't yet know it - Jax WED is dangerously close to taking her flirtatious relationship WED with the builder, Rakesh, to the next stage. WED Mr Blue Sky is about one man battling to remain positive WED when he's been dealt such a poor hand in life, and one woman WED battling to live with someone who has his head in the WED clouds. WED In this episode Robbie, whilst in search of a stigma, bites WED off more than he can chew whilst Harvey makes the most of a WED beautiful day and walks to work - what could possibly go WED wrong?
