A Parrot Called Gabriel A new comedy for radio by JANET HOWORTH
Edward's business acumen and logical mind have made him a small fortune and enabled him to retire early, but the discovery that his energy and organising powers are no longer necessary is frustrating to a man of his temperament. His doctor recommends a complete change of scene - a holiday in a quiet manor house in Suffolk. It doesn'stay quiet for very long, as Edward spares no effort to put Esketh Magna on the map; but nothing ever goes quite as planned, and it takes a parrot - with a bit of help - to restore his former faith in himself.
