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

Ed finds himself writing a film script, an action adventure with a quirky sci-fi twist.

Ed finds himself writing a film script - an action adventure with a quirky sci-fi twist. Stars Christopher Douglas. From 2013.

When Ed's flat burns down his old nemesis, Jaz Milvain, rides to the rescue. 

As a "National Treasure" lots of people want to work with Jaz (or so he says) and he's got some serious investors who want him to make a movie - an action-adventure with a quirky sci-fi twist. 

Ed is not keen until Alex offers him a rather nice hotel to work from. So it is that Ed starts writing 'Doctor Bond', or is it 'Harry Hobbit'.....

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.
