BBC SERIES ADAPTATION
THE SECRET DIARY OF ADRIAN MOLE
BBC and David Nicholls are set to create a ten episode series out of THE SECRET DIARY OF ADRIAN MOLE AGED 13¾ by Sue Townsend! It’s New Year’s Day 1981 and Adrian starts his uniquely funny diary
about family life and being a teenager before the advent of mobile phones and social media. With only a multi coloured ballpoint pen as his guide, Adrian worries about his spots, his parents’ divorce, the torment of first love and the fact he’s never seen a female nipple. As Adrian's mother Pauline wrestles with her feminist awakening, his father George struggles with being made redundant in an unforgiving economy. Adrian’s wider world is made up of a host of memorable characters like his 'treacle-haired beloved' Pandora, his take-no-prisoners Grandma and his unlikely friend, the foul-mouthed pensioner Bert Baxter. This vivid portrait of suburban life in Britain shows how much we have changed while staying the same. The result is a timeless family drama that is as warm and funny as it is sad and poignant.

Un adattamento che conserva l’ironia brillante dell’originale, restituendo con freschezza le inquietudini e i sogni del giovane Adrian.

It is such a popular book series.
DeleteI haven't read the book! Was it any good? It's rather cold here and people have already started putting up the X'mas decoration...saw many of them this morning when we were out for the walk.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea, I think it was massively popular, but I do not read books for youngsters if I do not have to LOL
DeleteWe have been hit by a cold front as well, it was well over 20C yesterday and then went down to below 10C over night. We were in hoodies and vests and now in shawls and winter parkas.
