It's Boxing Day in Ed Reardon's House and we find Ed making a toast in celebration of another successful year for the Reardon Family. Yes, you read correctly, Ed is surrounded by his wonderful family. Not only that but he's up there amongst the best writers in the world and his Boxing Day lunch is joined by Jaz Milvain, one of the best directors in the world. Yes, Jaz and End are riding high and Ed and his gorgeous wife and kids are happy.
