Ed Reardon's Week

Available for over a year

Ed has finally decided that enough is enough and has decided to stop writing. For good. Unless Zadie Smith can convince him otherwise. Series 16 not only marks 20 years of Ed Reardon broadcasting on Radio 4, but this final episode in the series is the 100th episode. Ed still manages to fail at reaching the heady heights of successful, rich author, but he still succeeds in scraping by with various schemes and writing projects. Ed Reardon - Christopher Douglas Eli - Lisa Coleman Maggie - Pippa Haywood Jaz Milvain - Philip Jackson Ping - Barunka O’Shaughnessy Kate - Robin Weaver Petroc Trelawny as himself Written by Christopher Douglas Produced by Dawn Ellis Production Co-ordinator: Katie Baum Sound: Jon Calver & Alison McKenzie
