This hilarious comedy was adapted for television by Sue Townsend from her international best-seller. It is a satirical comedy of adolescent manners following the efforts of a spotty teenager trying to make sense of the erratic behaviour of the adults around him. The disintegration of his parents’ marriage, threats from the local bully, the first love pains and spots coming out on New Year’s Day are a series of minor tragedies the hero must cope with in the delicate transition period from puberty to manhood.
Definitely a family show.
