Episode 10
At last, Adrian receives some good news from Dr Rubik. Bernard goes missing and finds a bargain at the vicar鈥檚 rummage sale.
The sixth and final instalment of Adrian Mole鈥檚 diaries by Sue Townsend, one of our most celebrated comic writers.
It starts in 2007 when Adrian has reached the age of 39. Having fallen into debt, Adrian and his wife Daisy are forced to move into a semi-detached converted pigsty next door to his parents.
Adrian worries that the passion has gone out of his relationship and that his five-year-old daughter Gracie is turning into a tyrant. On top of this, he is having to empty his bladder several times in the night - and getting a doctor鈥檚 appointment is far from easy.
In an interview, Sue Townsend once said that The Prostrate Years was her favourite of the Adrian Mole books. Having suffered significant health problems herself, she wanted to write about serious illness while maintaining her inimitable sense of humour.
