The complete second series of the BBC Radio 4 full-cast drama about two single parents who met on an internet chat site and developed a friendship. First broadcast in the "Woman's Hour Drama" slots from 23 August - 27 August 2010, this follows on from the first series which was originally transmitted in 2009 under the name of "singleparentpals.com". In the first series despite a succession of twists and turns, mis-timings and misunderstandings between the rather nervous, disorganised Tom and the mouthy, controlling Rosie, an underlying friendship and dependence seemed to emerge-but an actual meeting in the flesh failed to take place. Now, a year later, communications between cyberpals Rosie and Tom are still long-distance, by e-mail, telephone or through the website.
