Ed Reardon's Week: Parsnip Junction (Episode 4, Series 7)

Series 7 of the award-winning BBC Radio 4 comedy starring Christopher Douglas, John Fortune, Stephanie Cole and Sally Hawkins. In the fourth episode, 'Parsnip Junction', Ed finds himself in the middle of some sibling rivalry when Ping's sister, Py, undertakes some work experience at the agency. Ed finds the 'can-do' attitude of Py rather refreshing after Ping's normal 'might be a problem' response, particularly when she finds him some paid work with one Charles Cobbold, reinventing the much loved children's classic 'Parsnip Junction'. If Ed can withstand Charles' Communist tendencies and his penchant for porn he may be on to a winner. Written by Christopher Douglas and Andrew Nickolds, 'Ed Reardon's Week' includes supporting roles from Stephanie Cole as Olive, John Fortune as Felix and Barunka O'Shaughnessy as Ping. 'Ed Reardon's Week' was voted Best Radio Programme by the Broadcasting Press Guild.
