Ed Reardon's blissful week

If you haven't discovered Ed Reardon yet, discover him. He's on Radio 4 and BBC 7, in different series. He's my hero of the moment. There's no-one who can rant, rage and rampage like the gloriously irascible Ed, at least not since John Cleese in his prime. Described by the BBC as 'author, pipesmoker, consummate fare-dodger and master of the abusive email', he describes the media as 'run by idiots, lying charlatans and moronic twelve year-olds who should've been drowned at birth in a bucket of raw sewage'

Written (with Andrew Nickolds) and performed by Christopher Douglas, it has a blue chip cast and there are 18 episodes to writhe through. Voted Best Radio Programme by the Broadcasting Press Guild.
