The main issue concerning this hybrid collection of Adrian Mole, Sue Townsend and Margaret Hilda Roberts diaries is that it's a bit of an odd combo. I personally loved the Mole chapters, although the timeline jumped around a little. Townsend's own diaries were excellent and laugh out loud funny in places. As for the 'Young Mrs Thatcher' chapters, well, a clever satires, but about as subtle as a sledgehammer. I would have liked to see more Mole and less 1980s political comment if I'm honest.

I would have preferred to have heard Nicholas Barnes as Mole; Anna Bentinck and Harriet Carmichael were both fabulous narrators though.
