Christopher Douglas (born c.1955^[1]) is a British actor and writer.

He is the voice of Ed Reardon in BBC Radio 4's long-running sitcom Ed Reardon's Week, which he co-wrote with Andrew Nickolds. Ed Reardon's Week has completed fifteen series and was the winner of the Broadcasting Press Guild's "Best Radio Programme" award in 2005 and again in 2010. Douglas is also the voice and co-creator of the world's most disappointing cricketer Dave Podmore, a Radio 4 regular since 2001.

Other radio credits include a two-part adaptation of George Gissing's New Grub Street, two series of Mastering The Universe, co-written with Nick Newman and starring Dawn French. With Nicola Sanderson, he co-wrote three series of the radio comedy, Beauty Of Britain, starring Jocelyn Jee Esien.^[2]

Douglas wrote and directed the improbably long-running career of uber-thesp Nicholas Craig (Nigel Planer), whose autobiography I, An Actor was first published in 1988, and who has continued to appear on TV and on stage ever since.
