Parsnip Junction

Ed Reardon's WeekSeries 7
Episode 4 of 6

Ed faces sibling rivalry as Ping's sister, Py, does work experience at the agency. Stars Christopher Douglas. From January 2011.

Ed finds himself in the middle of some sibling rivalry when Ping's sister, Py, undertakes some work experience at the agency.

Ed finds the 'can-do' attitude of Py rather refreshing after Ping's normal 'might be a problem' response, particularly when she finds him some paid work with one Charles Cobbold, reinventing the much loved children's classic 'Parsnip Junction'.

If Ed can withstand Charles' Communist tendencies and his penchant for porn he may be on to a winner.

The comical world of a curmudgeonly pipe-smoking author and his trusty cat Elgar.

Christopher Douglas stars as Ed Reardon.

Written by Christopher Douglas and Andrew Nickolds.
