5. For the Sake of the Planet
Ed is offered a role as ‘Writer in Residence’ - but is he on the wrong side of the fence?
Commissions are so thin on the ground that the only thing on offer to Ed is the role of ‘Writer in Residence’ at a nuclear power station, and they’re looking for a national treasure, which Ed assures his agent he is.
After all, his episode of Tenko was watched by 12 million people. So it is that Ed convinces the nuclear people to give him them the job with a little help from Ping who insists he’s not a ‘wokeflake’ (sic.) Unfortunately, Maggie is on the other side of the fence protesting.
