Product Description

Product Description

This is an award-winning BBC Radio 4 comedy starring Christopher Douglas, John Fortune, Stephanie Cole and Sally Hawkins. Ed Reardon (played by Christopher Douglas) is a failed writer, fare-dodger and master of the abusive email. Living with his cat in a one-bedroom flat, this bearded divorcee grumbles at a modern world seemingly run by 12-year-olds, while churning out books such as Jane Seymour's "Household Hints and Pet Peeves" (to pay the bills) and trying to live off the royalties of his 1982 episode of "Tenko" (GBP17 per annum). We track Ed's attempts to gain the literary success he feels is due in this painfully funny and extraordinarily clever sitcom. Written by Christopher Douglas and Andrew Nickolds, "Ed Reardon's Week" includes marvellous supporting roles from Stephanie Cole, John Fortune and Sally Hawkins. "Ed Reardon's Week" was voted Best Radio Programme by the Broadcasting Press Guild.

5.0 out of 5 stars ed reardon's week , 11 Aug 2007
By stephen bennett - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ed Reardon's Week (Audio CD)
Pulp Non-Fiction: Ed is an author, pipe-smoker, fare-dodger and master of the abusive email, and no writer knows more about freeloading than him.(BBC) Well written and performed. Best use of the radio format. Very funny. Check it out for yourself on BBC4 or BBC7 on the internet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheer utter joy!, 19 Sep 2008
By A. R. Gallagher (Bedfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ed Reardon is surely one of the finest comic creations of recent years. Like the equally funny Count Arthur Strong, Ed is angry about everyone and everything, but unlike the Count, is able to articulate his anger most eloquently. His (or, rather, Christopher Douglas's) use of the English language is on a par with the writing of the late, great Alan Coren. Listen, for example, to Ed's description of Shiraz wine! Very funny indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beatifully written, consummately observed, effortlessly witty, 14 Dec 2008
By N. Mailer "bokkie" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
BBC Radio has produced a number of celebrated gems. But those with the most luster tend to be the ones still hidden to all but a few. Ed Reardon's Week is an example of this. The wry cynicism and yet, oddly, life-affirming stoicism imbued in the series provides a subtle mix of comedy, pathos and bathos which makes for wonderful listening. By series five, in between the laughs, you will truly care for Ed and his cat in a way that will surprise you and charm you in equal measure.
