Soloparentpals.com - The Complete Series 1-5
The complete Series 1-5 of the BBC Radio 4 comedy about parenting in modern times.
Tom and Rosie are solo parents living 250 miles apart. Both recently divorced, bruised and lonely, they're looking for a cyber pal who understands what they're going through. So when they log on to a parenting advice website, they make an instant, sparky connection. Gradually, their online friendship becomes something more, and a 'will they/won't they' relationship develops via emails, text, phone calls and the SPP forum.
Following a succession of twists and turns, mistimings and misunderstandings, they finally meet - only for things get even more complicated. But fortunately, new chatroom buddies and confidants Baz, Tash, Gilly, Scott and Barb are there to provide advice and a shoulder to cry on - as well as chipping in with the latest news on their own tangled love lives...
