Pandora organises a sock protest at school and Barry Kent gets a dose of his own medicine.
Meanwhile, Adrian finally gets to experience his first passionate kiss.
Sue Townsend's hilarious and heart-breaking chronicle of a teenager growing up in the Midlands in the 1980s.
It's 1981 and Margaret Thatcher is in power; Britain is at war in the Falklands and teenagers are growing up in a world without mobile phones or computer games.
While his parents are downstairs, drinking, smoking and arguing about their failing marriage, Adrian is upstairs in his bedroom listening to ABBA, reading great works of literature, writing poems, and penning letters to the 麻豆社.
Abridged by Sara Davies.
Read by Harry McEntire.
Producer: Alexa Moore
A Pier production for 麻豆社 Radio 4, first broadcast in September 2017.
