BBC Radio 4 - Ed Reardon's Week, Series 12, An Enemy of the People

An encounter with a refuse collector leads Ed into the world of local politics. Starring Christopher Douglas. From 2017.

Following an encounter with Jack, the refuse collector at the recycling centre, Ed is persuaded to enter the world of local politics. 

Jack holds Ed as a bit of a hero after reading his comments on various ballot papers when assisting with the local count at several elections and decides that Ed would make the perfect local councillor. 

Ed takes very little persuading when he discovers the emoluments he can expect and begins his campaign with the help of his new agent, Maggie.
