The Aromatherapists offered alternative remedies to not-so-common ailments. Their motto was 'smell to get well' and this seemed to serve them adequately, apparently far more successfully than standard medical cures like pills, tourniquets, built-up shoes, pipe cleaners and the like.

As an example of their previous success, Dr Richard Slater (Vic) explained he'd once possessed a wandering eye, and had smelled Essence of Turkish Trampoline Spring in order to bring the eye back, even though it was over five miles away...

Hardly the best conceived characters in the repertoire, the best moment was when Dr Richard Slater (Vic) revealed he was suffering from a belly full of bad booze, biscuit, brisket and brine. Dr Richard Slater (Bob) duly offered him Essence of Picture Frame incorporating Personal Hi-Fi. As Dr Richard Slater (Vic) inhaled deeply, he failed to deflate the balloon under his costume and Dr Richard Slater (Bob) was forced to assist by helping beat it down.

Great stuff, for all the wrong reasons...
