The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole is the continuation of the rites of passage comedy drama about spotty teenager Adrian Mole. Set in the early eighties, Adrian's Mum (now played by Lulu) and Dad are back together but while trying for a baby, discover his dad's ex lover is also pregnant.
Adapted from Sue Townsend's bestselling novels, these hit series chronicle the everyday traumas and emotional upheavals of the legendary teenage diarist as he struggles to come to terms with life in the 1980s. Gian Sammarco is the angst-ridden scribbler with literary aspirations, with Lulu successively portraying his mother, Beryl Reid his opinionated grandma, Stephen Moore his errant father, and Bill Fraser his elderly chum, Bert Baxter.
