Episode 1
It’s 2007 and aged 39, Adrian’s life is ever chaotic, not to mention his overactive bladder every night. Read by Harry McEntire.
The sixth and final instalment of Adrian Mole’s 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’s appointment is far from easy...
Omnibus of the first five of ten episodes abridged by Sara Davies.
Read by Harry McEntire.
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.
