Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Think the Unthinkable was a BBC Radio 4 sitcom written by James Cary which aired for four series from 2001 to 2005 and followed the fortunes of Unthinkable Solutions, a team of inept management consultants whose advice to the companies foolish enough to hire them nearly always left them worse off than they were before.The personnel of Unthinkable Solutions include the team leader, Wide-Eyed Idealist Ryan Packer (Marcus Brigstocke); his second-in-command Sophie Stott (Emma Kennedy in Series 1-2, Beth Chalmers in Series 3-4), the only sane woman (when she isn't giving in to her violent temper); Granola Girl Daisy De Vere (Catherine Shepherd), who insists on carrying her fondness for New Age trends into the ideas for the corporations that hire them; and IT expert Owen (David Mitchell), Abhorrent Admirer to Sophie and openly critical of almost all forms of technology, even ones he installed himself.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Bulungi: The fictional African state of Nambitrea from Series 2, Episode 5, is a landlocked country somewhere south of the Sahara, rich mostly in sand, extremely venomous snakes, and unexploded landmines, according to Sophie. Since gaining independence from Britain, it has gone through periods of fascism and Communism and is now governed by a president who had the country's only lake drained after a fisherman supposedly looked at him funny.

Abhorrent Admirer: Owen has a huge crush on Sophie, who is repelled by his lack of personal hygiene and social skills.

Breakout Character: Owen was originally intended to be a one-off character in Episode 4 of Series 1, but he proved so popular that he became a regular character starting in Series 2.

Brainless Beauty: Daisy is apparently very pretty and has numerous male admirers but she's easily the dimmest character. She wonders why the West didn't get involved in Africa a hundred years ago, and when Sophie drily asks if she's ever heard of "a thing called 'the Empire'", Daisy thinks she's referring to "the nightclub off the King's Road with the animal print sofas".
