BBC Radio 4 Extra - One Hundred and Forty Characters, Between the Tweets

A star's career is at risk when gossip about him spreads on Twitter. Story by Jojo Moyes.

By Jojo Moyes: A daytime TV star's career is at risk when gossip about an extra-marital affair spreads on Twitter. Read by Claire Knight.

By Jojo Moyes.


First in a series of specially commissioned short stories inspired by the social networking phenomenon, Twitter. (For non "tweeters", the title derives from Twitter's format where "tweets" - the postings - can be no longer than 140 characters.)


A daytime TV star's reputation hangs in the balance when an anonymous woman accuses him on Twitter of having an affair with her. Who is the mysterious tweeter and why is she so determined to destroy the celebrity's career? 'Reputation manager' Bella is called in to handle the situation and, using her I.T. contacts, makes a surprising discovery.


Jojo Moyes is an award-winning author, former newspaper journalist and a regular Tweeter. Her story title was suggested by one of her Twitter followers.


Read by Claire Knight.


Produced by Kirsteen Cameron.
