Joan of the Junction

Ed tramps along the canal trying to find someone to take him, and Elgar, in.

When he fortunes upon the somewhat colourful Joan, he hits the jackpot in more ways than one.

Not only does he gain a rather comfortable cabin bed, but as the pair chat about Joan's rather picaresque life over a can of cider,

Ed discovers she has lived her life in the manner for a perfect Sunday night TV drama. Cue a call to his agent, Ping.

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.
