Following one of his numerous pithy letters of complaint to the BBC, Ed finds himself doing some research for his son, Jake, the only family member left representing the name of 'Reardon' working in the media.

The unexpected consequence of this research is that Ed finds himself working in harmony with the 12 year-olds both on screen and in the coffee stations and tea points of power, to produce a piece of genuinely water-cooler factutainment.
