Episode 2 of 2

In a post-modern twist that would irritate Ed Reardon, Christopher Douglas plays Victorian novelist George Gissing.

Edwin Reardon's struggles as a serious novelist have created a rift between himself and his wife Amy.

Meanwhile Jasper Milvain seems drawn to the bookish Marian Yule.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4's Ed Reardon and Jaz Milvain are loosely based on characters from George Gissing's Victorian novel.

Starring Christopher Douglas and Henry Lloyd-Hughes
