The Intern

BBC Radio 4 - Ed Reardon's Week, Series 9, The Intern

Ed finds himself the oldest intern in town and sharing an office with Ping.

Ed somehow ends up sharing an office with Ping, and the cake run too. Stars Stephanie Cole and Alison Steadman. From November 2013.

The council is taking a holistic approach to cost-cutting and decides that Ed's writing class needs to get paid for some of their work. 

When it transpires that the class feels that they are wasting their time and thinking of joining the 'Bonkers About Baking' class Ed decides to set them the task of writing 'Hedgerow Jottings' and 'Tales from the Towpath' in an attempt to earn money and become real writers. 

Meanwhile, when the new intern at the agency turns out to be more than he seems, Ed finds himself maintaining his non-tax paying status by becoming the oldest intern in town and sharing an office with Ping.

The comical world of an author, pipe smoker, consummate fare-dodger and master of the abusive e-mail.

Starring Christopher Douglas.

Written by Christopher Douglas and Andrew Nickolds.
