From Bean to Cup

Episode 2 of 6

At last Ed鈥檚 got a decent pad, a coffee maker and gainful employment. But for how long? Stars Christopher Douglas. January 2011.

Ed finds himself working on a corporate video with the high powered team of director and old sparring partner Jaz Milvane, and Oscar-winning producer Heidi Fisher.

He's also house-sitting for a well-heeled neighbour and enjoying all the benefits this civic duty brings, such as the use of comfortable furniture in agreeable surroundings, electrical appliances that work, and access to decent stationary and a well-stocked fridge.

Perhaps Ed is about to enjoy his week and be well paid for a change...

The comical world of a curmudgeonly pipe-smoking author and his trusty cat Elgar - with his never-ending capacity for scrimping and scraping at whatever scraps his agent Ping digs up,

Christopher Douglas stars as Ed Reardon.
