Ed Reardon at Christmas
Ed Reardon is spending Christmas without even his trusty cat, Elgar, for company. All he has for Christmas is a computer and a commission. First broadcast in 2016.
It鈥檚 time to celebrate the Christmas Week with Radio 4鈥檚 curmudgeonly author Ed Reardon, and his faithful companion Elgar. Or is it? As we meet Ed on Christmas Eve he seems to be abandoning his only friend at a cat refuge centre. It seems that Ed must spend his Christmas day alone with only a computer for company as he鈥檚 been commissioned to write the thirty thousand word long 鈥楪reat British Bake Off鈥� novel and Elgar isn鈥檛 allowed in the agency office.
Still, all is not lost as he鈥檚 managed to scrape together the means to buy some liquid refreshment to keep him going. He also has the unexpected 鈥榩leasure鈥� of Jaz Milvain turning up on Christmas Day to do some preparation work for his New Years鈥� Day appearance as guest editor on something called the 鈥楾oday Programme鈥�. Ed will most surely give his old friend some helpful information...
