The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾

This week has been a sad week in the public eye. On Thursday, Sue Townsend the author of the Adrian Mole series sadly passed away. In her memory I bring you the TV adaptation of her first in the Adrian Mole series, The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13¾.





Poor Adrian has a lot on his plate! His parents are perpetually on the verge of divorce, he volunteers to help the aged and gets stuck with a revolting old man who treats him like a skivvy, he thinks he's an intellectual but still can't manage to do very well at school, the girl he liked starts going out with his best friend and the only person who seems on his side is his mad old grandma. Top this off with everything happening in early 80's Britain and naming Margaret Thatcher as his worst enemy, this teenager certainly has a lot to write about!
