BBC Radio 4 - Ed Reardon's Week, Series 11, The Fourth Sausage

Could one of Ed's rediscovered films change his life?

Ed enlists his son to do his university work while he makes a discovery in Ping's office. Stars Christopher Douglas. From 2016.

All is well in Ed's World. He has drafted his son, Jake, to do some cold calling to raise funds for the university coffers whilst he visits his agent to clear out some old boxes from her office. 

What he wasn't expecting this week is that one of his old projects 'Sir Jasper's Breakfast' could earn him a small fortune due to its popularity at Hen and Stag 'do's' or that Jake's success at fundraising, and subsequent 10% cut of those funds, would leave his university career in jeopardy.

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

Starring Christopher Douglas.

Written by Andrew Nickolds and Christopher Douglas.
