- To those who have read the diaries of Adrian Mole the name John Tydeman will be familiar, for he was the fictional BBC radio producer to whom Mole regularly sent his poetry. Much to Mole’s frustration, his many submissions were rejected.
To read just two of Mole’s letters, Adrian Mole himself, Stephen Mangan, joined us at the Royal Albert Hall in 2022.

Everyone should read Adrian Mole's diaries by Sue Townsend. They are the stuff of legend.
I can just picture this as an older Adrian reading out his letters…
No dots over the o's in Norway (Sweden on the other hand...)
Nope… The Norwegians learned to spell more proper by us, the Danes. We use Æ, Ø and Å.
@@Sonderborg75Properly! Lol
@@BBlair-if8tj Properly, more proper…
That’s the point of Adrian, he doesn’t have a clue, bless him!
There is ø and some optional use of ó, ò and ô, but no ö. The poem predates Wikipedia, which is where I double checked the orthography, though, so perhaps we have to be a little forgiving.
Once in a while I actually reread all the Adrien Mole books. So funny they never get old.
I loved reading Adrian Mole in my younger years
LL is absolutely in my top 3 favorite YT channels 😂😊
May I ask what your other favourites are? Because I just discovered LL and I think it's one of the best things I've ever come across on the internet.
God i loved the Adrian Mole series
I was a fan of the books, and I love this!
Norway doesn't even have dots over its Os!
Adrian mole is a fictitious character
I loved Adrian Mole when I was young. Can't say I have ever eaten a beetroot sandwich.
Sue Townsend forever! ❤
To Uploader/Video/Audio/Editor,
Volume too low.
Good gods why is the volume so low? I have youtube _and_ PC level at 100% and can still barely hear.
I hear it just fine…
I usually use headphones and the volume is fine for me.
@@daphnea5447 Oh you’re a joy, aren’t you?🖕🖕
yes it's definitely quieter than others
did they forget to turn the mics on for this one?
This is why I don't let people read the stuff I wrote when I was fifteen.
Not sure if serious. "Adrian Mole" was a character written by Sue Townsend. She published his "diaries" which dealt with a lot of normal teenage middle-ish class stuff (divorce, obsession over penis size, first love) etc. The books (and subsequent TV show) were wildly popular in the 1980s amongst both adults and kids, though looking back some of the content went sailing over my young head.
I suspect I might still have my family's tattered OG copy of the first book in a box somewhere.
At any rate, any Pom or Kiwi (and maybe Aussie) of a certain age will be familiar with the character. I assume it was never a thing in North America, though.
@@SuperDoNotWantI still agree with OP's point, because this fictional adolescent-male poetry is every bit as excruciating as the real stuff I produced myself at that age.
Well he is not wrong about Norway and difficult spelling.
Oh he didn’t read it as it was written…Norway your Fords, Flords…Inlets…all his attempts to spell Fjords were crossed out and he settled on Inlets. Haha! First time I read of Harry Potter…there was a lot of him in Adrian especially early on. I know Jo was a fan.
Stephen does such a great accent here
Adrian Mole and his never ending love for Pandora and his terrible poems!
Adrian was oddly obsessed with the Norwegian Leather Industry 🤣
Make your mind up about which accent to use, Stephen!
I am rereading Mole's diaries. Never funnier
Watery inlet? Norway has watery inlets? They're basically all mountain and ocean fish. Kid's writing about Sweden.
Fjords
Lots of people here gloriously missing the point that Adrian is gloriously ignorant, it’s a deliberate inaccuracy in the writing. I recommend reading the books, it’s difficult to get a grasp of the character from a short clip.
