After a disastrous wedding anniversary, Annabelle signs herself and Will up for a course of marriage guidance.

In a new collaboration between BBC Radio and Television, Happy Tuesdays showcases a series of new comedy pilots for Tuesday nights on BBC Radio 4.

Some of the most exciting comedy talent around are given the chance to try out new ideas and formats.

A year in to married life and already things are a little creaky for Will and Annabelle.

So, following Will's unimaginative anniversary present, Annabelle has signed them up for a course of marriage counselling.

The episode begins with Will and Annabelle talking to their counsellor Guy.

They discuss their disastrous weekend in a boutique hotel to celebrate their anniversary.

We hear their sides of the argument, before we cut to the anniversary weekend itself.

The listener is taken back and forth from the anniversary weekend to the session, where Guy mediates the dispute, usually leaning more towards Annabelle's point of view.

In contrast to Will's uptight control-freakery, Guy is laconic and urbane and clearly irritating to Will.
