BBC Radio 4 - Ed Reardon's Week, Series 7, Summer of '76

Ed is befriended online by old flame Fiona - but is it wise for them to get reacquainted?

An old flame called Fiona tries to rekindle Ed’s interest when she makes contact online.  Stars Christopher Douglas.  From 2011.

Struggling freelancer Ed Reardon has embraced the online age and even subscribed to Facebook.  

But then he finds he has opened up a Pandora's box of so-called friends that he's never actually met. 

That is until one Fiona Templeton pops up and he's reminded of the events of 1976 when he was a hot new writer and she a hot young model. Should an old acquaintance be renewed - or should Ed leave well alone?  

The comical world of an author, pipe smoker, consummate fare-dodger and master of the abusive e-mail.

Christopher Douglas stars as Ed Reardon
