The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole: DVD Review

The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole: DVD Review

Released by Madman Home Ent

In the 80s, Sue Townsend's novels were iconic - and on the 80s TV circuit in the UK, The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole was equally iconic, even if it was title star Gian Sammarco's biggest ever role.

In these six episodes, Mole is back with the love of his life Pandora as the Falklands War, and negotiating the passage into adulthood.

Sure, it doesn't shine as much as it did in more innocent times, but there is a purity of heart about this short run series.

It's not as good as the secret diary of Adrian Mole by a long shot, but for a short blast of nostalgia, The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole will suffice.

Even if the tribulations faced by this teen feel like something out of yesteryear, with nary any technology in sight to mar this teenager's life.
