The surreal duo try to solve a problem at Buckingham Palace. Stars Andrew Livingston and Fine Time Fontayne. From July 1992.

A mix of surrealist character humour and topical comedy starring Andrew Livingston and Fine Time Fontayne.

With boy-scout ingenuity and a smattering of half-completed evening classes behind them - Nigel and Earl can go anywhere and do anything, tackling the world's problems from the quirky end. This is the DIY, instant fix-it approach to world politics. The titular pair attempt to put the world to rights, meeting up with an assortment of people from the week's news (in 1992).

In this opening episode, Nigel and Earle head to Buckingham Palace to find Prince Charles but find only a frog.
