  • An excellent adaptation of an equally excellent book. Sue Townsend has done it again!

    'The Cappucino Years' introduces us to an over thirty Adrian Mole who is a single father to William and working as an offal chef in an up-market Soho restaurant. As ever, Adrian is still in love with Pandora Braithwaite, now a Dr of Philosophy and standing as a candidate for New Labour in the district of Ashy de la Zouch. Adrian is certain that Pandora and Tony Blair will sweep into power and, he's right, they do.

    This terrific series follows Adrian through the trials and tribulations of single parenthood along with the news that he fathered a son, Glenn, by Sharon Bott whom we met in his first two books.

    Truly hilarious and very well cast. Another triumph for Sue Townsend and one of the best characters ever created by a British writer. Fantastic!moreless
  • This episode was of course a good one as always. I was a little concerned how ever about the ending of the episode.

    This episode was of course a good one as always. I was a little concerned how ever about the ending of the episode. They brought this really close to revealing what is really going on. I don’t like this fact, as I like to be kept in the dark about what’s really going on.
  • Very nice mini series.

    It was very interesting to see the foollow up "The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole" ( 1985 ) and "The Growing Pains Of Adrian Mole" ( 1987 ).
    It has been a pleasure watching the British mini series, Adrian Mole: the Cappuccino Years. I have been a long time fan of the book series by Sue Townsend, and was pleased to see that the show contains all of the brilliant humor that is the life and times of Adrian Mole. It is extremely well cast, as Stephen Mangan captures the sad realism that is Adrian Mole. A brilliant show from a wonderful read!moreless
