I have never seen BA offering UK Dom connections to CE in anything other than J/Y, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened in the past if someone booked through the BA call centre for example and the agent used the lowest available fare bucket for the UK Dom sector.
Ah I see, never entered my head re the TA bit and thanks for that info ^

Sorry for the thicko question ross (I'm not a FF'r) but what/who do you mean by a 'consolidator'?
