Ed Reardon's Week - Series 7 - From Bean to Cup

Radio 4's most curmudgeonly author is back for a new series, complete with his trusty companion Elgar, his pipe and his never ending capacity for scrimping and scraping at whatever scraps his agent, Ping, can offer him to keep body, mind and cat together. Ed Reardon ..... Christopher Douglas Felix ..... John Fortune Jaz Milvane ..... Philip Jackson Ping ..... Barunka O'Shaughnessy Heidi ..... Matilda Ziegler Window Cleaner ..... Dan Tetsell Pearl ..... Rita May Olive ..... Stephanie Cole Stan ..... Geoffrey Whitehead Houseowner ..... Paul Merton Written by Andrew Nickolds and Christopher Douglas Produced by Dawn Ellis Ed finds himself working on a corporate video with the high powered team of director and old sparring partner Jaz Milvane, and Oscar-winning producer Heidi Fisher. He's also house-sitting for a well-heeled neighbour and enjoying all the benefits this civic duty brings, such as the use of comfortable furniture in agreeable surroundings, electrical appliances that work, and access to decent stationary and a well-stocked fridge. Perhaps Ed is about to enjoy his week and be well paid for a change.
