You’re Cancelled

Ed’s son Jake is cancelled by his podcast platforms.

So he tries to enlist his fathers’ help, egged on by Ed’s writing class who insist he and Jake could be like ‘those two Whitehall fellas’.

Ed, however, is distracted when an unexpected meeting leads to the renewal of his acquaintance with his ex-partner, Maggie. She’s now on probation for yarn bombing the Town Hall on election night.

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.
