Become a Successful Writer

Episode 3 of 6

The script doctor will see you now. After a writer's course, Ed turns expert. Stars Christopher Douglas. From January 2011.

Ed's enrolled on a writing course which endeavours to teach him how to 'write successfully'.

He naturally feels he's already mastered this art, as testified to in the 1976 issue of Films and Filming, and the fact that he teaches his own course at the local leisure centre.

However, much persuasion by Ping and the mention of free food and drink for three days finally sways Ed into attendance. In the event, Ed does learn a thing or two about setting up his very own 'Script Doctor' service at 拢25 a consultation.

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.

Written by Christopher Douglas and Andrew Nickolds.
