Further details
This week, the council is taking a holistic approach to cost-cutting and decides that Ed's writing class needs to get paid for some of their work.
When it transpires that the class feels that they are wasting their time and thinking of joining the 'Bonkers About Baking' class Ed decides to set them the task of writing Hedgerow Jottings and Tales from the Towpath in an attempt to earn money and become real writers.
Meanwhile, when the new intern at the agency turns out to be more than he seems, Ed finds himself maintaining his non-tax paying status by becoming the oldest intern in town and sharing an office with Ping.
