Ed finds himself writing a script for Jaz Milvain's latest film.
Further details
When Ed's flat burns down his old nemesis, Jaz Milvain, rides to the rescue. As a "National Treasure" lots of people want to work with Jaz (or so he says) and he's got some serious investors who want him to make a movie - an action-adventure with a quirky sci-fi twist.
Ed is not keen until Alex offers him a rather nice hotel to work from. So it is that Ed starts writing Doctor Bond, or is it Harry Hobbit?...
