Ed Reardon's Week Series 1, Episode 2 - Pulp Non-Fiction - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

Ed finds a review of his new book in the magazine Caravan and Camper. Rather than pay for photocopying, he steals the magazine from the library - an act that results in a jail sentence for the poor author.

Further details

Ed picks up a repetitive strain injury from continually checking the Amazon sales rank for his new book, Pet Peeves. Following a disastrous interview with Saga Radio, Ed heads to the library to look for any reviews of his book in the papers. Stealing a magazine that has mentioned his book was a bad move though - Ed lands in court and, when he fails to pay the fine, he is sent to prison.
