Possibly unique as the first UK internet soap that occasionally features
'real people', Careless Talk is a weekly serial created and written
by David Barry, one of the stars of the 1970s sitcom Please, Sir! and
Fenn Street Gang, in which he played the mother-smothered, loud-talking
fantasist and confirmed coward, Frankie Abbott.
Manchester has Coronation Street, London has EastEnders, now Tunbridge
Wells has Careless Talk. It is, of course, like all other soaps a work
of fiction. But unlike other soaps, real characters make fleeting appearances
in the storylines, and many of the locations in and around Tunbridge Wells
are factual.
Please enjoy reading Careless Talk
online, or feel free to print out an episode and enjoy reading it at your
leisure. If you enjoy its drama and & humour, you may wish to read David Barry’s
first novel Each Man Kills,a police thriller published November 2002,
which is available from Amazon.
