Comedy A-Z Pages:
Adrian Mole (Gian Sammarco) is an adolescent schoolboy who is constantly bewildered by the trials and tribulations of teenage life.
His major "worry" is the increasingly precarious state of the marriage of his parents, George (Stephen Moore) and Pauline (Julie Walters).
When they're not "embarrassing" Adrian, they seem to devote most of their energies to destroying what's left of their relationship.
Adrian's other main concerns are his constant battle against acne, his "pursuit": of the lovely Pandora Braithwaite (Lindsey Stagg) and his attempts to "do good" by helping to "look after" cantankerous old Bert Baxter (Bill Fraser).
The programme was based on Sue Townsend's novel, The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole, which in turn was based on her BBC radio play, The Diary Of Nigel Mole.
