Blood of the Reardons

To avoid his daughter's gluten free salad, Ed enrols on a clinical trial his son will film. With Christopher Douglas. From 2013.

Ed discovers that he has diabetes and his daughter, Eli, turns up to be his calorie counter- in-chief.

To escape Eli's gluten free falafel salad, Ed enrols on a clinical trial, and that's when his son, Jake turns up in the hope of a fly-on-the-wall documentary, although as Ping points out, it will only be marketable if Ed dies!

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.
