 BBC - h2g2 - Adrian Mole - Fictional Diarist - A820955
The brainchild of novelist Sue Townsend, Adrian Mole is the central character, or rather the narrator, of one of the longest-running sagas in British literature, as well as an acute commentary on British society from the 1980s to the late '90s.
Adrian is a schoolboy at a Leicester comprehensive school; his best friends are the beautiful, sophisticated Pandora Braithwaite (soon to become his first girlfriend and one true love of his life) and Nigel (the most dynamic and ever-changing of all characters).
Adrian is a faithful, if biased, chronicler of his times: his diaries report on all the major events, from the Falklands war to the marriage of Charles and Diana, down to Diana's death in 1997.

Adrian Mole is around six years older than me, and has, at the age of 32, now had no less than five volumes of his diaries published.
Little more was heard from Adrian until 1989, when a relatively brief extract from his diaries was featured alongside those of a teenage Margaret Hilda Roberts and those of the author herself, but the next full-length volume was 1993's "Adrian Mole - The Wilderness Years".
Adrian had grown up with his readers, and the note of optimism this book ended on is quickly squashed when Adrian's story is taken up again at the beginning of this latest volume.

 CRASH 23 - Secret Diary of Adrian Mole
Adrian Mole the computer game is a super implementation of the highly successful and very funny diary books written by Sue Townsend.
We join Mole's diary on the first day of the year where he enters his new year resolutions which include hanging trousers up, a stop to squeezing spots, and, after hearing the disgusting noises from downstairs the previous night, a vow never to drink alcohol.
The next few months see Mole observing a Mr Lucas, the next door neighbour, serving up a cup of tea while Mrs Lucas concretes the front of the house, sending a poem entitled 'The Tap' to the BBC, and a rebellious phase were both he and Pandora wear red socks to school.

Adrian, of course, is the usual bumbling fool, but one of the benefits of his 'protest' is that Pandora notices him and 'tells Claire Neilson, who told Nigel, who told me(Adrian)' with the result that 'Pandora and I are in love!' This provides a strong story line for the remainder of the diary.
Adrian's illness (tonsillitis) leads to a visit by the truant officer - again Adrian is a hapless victim and then the 'brown-skinned family' (note the careful political correctness of the description of the Singhs) move into the Lucas house.
Adrian's resolutions are as facile as the ones at the beginning of the narrative and his resolution to learn a new word every day stops on January 5th.

 Given his debt, he really needs a favor from Tony Blair
Five years ago, Sue Townsend charted her perpetual naif's brief success as a television chef in "Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years." Her fifth and latest installment, "Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction," opens in 2002, when war in Iraq is a grim threat but not yet a dire reality.
Adrian still carries a torch for his childhood sweetheart, Pandora Braithwaite, now a member of Parliament and about to publish an autobiography called "Out of the Box," rife with details about her wild sex life.
But in typical Adrian fashion, he becomes entangled with the singularly unappealing Marigold Flowers, whose passion is Victorian dollhouses and whose horrid parents are eager to unload her on anyone.
