2. A Pigeon in Sainsbury's

Ed Reardon's Week

Available for over a year

Ed rediscovers an old radio play, becomes involved in a battle re-enactment society and faces the very serious decision of finding a name for his new life partner - the offspring of Elgar. He also bumps into his on/off romantic partner Maggie, in a supermarket, which somehow leads him to become embroiled in a battle re-enactment group. But the most pressing thing for Ed this week is finding an outlet for his long-forgotten radio play ‘A Pigeon in Sainsbury’s’ which would easily (in his opinion) adapt for Radio or TV. Ping is not so convinced, even if it does have Stephen Mangan’s name attached. Ed Reardon - Christopher Douglas Eli - Lisa Coleman Maggie - Pippa Haywood Ping - Barunka O’Shaughnessy The Pigeon - Stephen Mangan Nick - Adrian Scarborough Michael Berkeley - Himself Written by Christopher Douglas Produced by Dawn Ellis Production Co-Ordinator : Katie Baum Sound: Jon Calver & Alison McKenzie
