Summer of '76

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
