The bestselling book The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 ¾ has been comissioned for a reboot for television. The 80's classic was written by the late Leicester-born writer, Sue Townsend and sold more than 10 million copies in the UK alone. It was turned into a tv series and even a theatre production too. Now, a writing team led by the One Day author, David Nicholls, is bringing Adrian Mole back to the small screen in a 10-part Â鶹Éç One adaptation of the classic tale of teenage life in Britain. Jane Mcveigh, an honorary fellow in English from the University of Leicester who is writing a literary biography on Sue Townsend, spoke to Â鶹Éç Leicester's Ben Jackson.
