Elgar’s Nose

Thanks to his weekly pension, Ed is enjoying all manner of new things.

There's organic food box deliveries, the pleasure of ticking yes to the question ‘Do you Have a TV licence?’ with a clear conscience - and a brand-new car!

Elgar, Ed’s trusty feline companion, is also enjoying this new lifestyle, apart from a sneeze that he just cannot shake.

A trip to the vet is in order.

The continuing comic saga of author of several plays, TV dramas, works of non-fiction, letters to the BBC about the pitiful decline in standards of literature and grammar, and master of the abusive email – Ed Reardon.

Written by Andrew Nickolds and Christopher Douglas.
