Ed plans to attend a funeral with his ex-wife, making his children and cat very unhappy.

Ed and his ex-wife plan to attend a funeral together, making his children very unhappy.  Stars Christopher Douglas. From 2015.

In his continuing quest for somewhere to live, Ed finds himself living in an empty phone shop, the occupation of which the council hopes will encourage the stakeholders to engage with their creativity. 

Far from enticing people in to attend 'slam poetry events', Ed has other things on his mind when he and his ex-wife Janet decide to attend the funeral of an old friend - together. 

Their children are not happy at this prospect, and neither is Elgar when he's left at a cattery called 'Southpaws'.

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.
