Adrian ends up working in an antiquarian bookshop. Having lived in relative poverty for much of his life, and for some time in London in actual squalor, he overextends himself financially, lured by the banks' promises of easy credit, and buys a converted loft apartment, at Rat Wharf. He is terrorized by swans, buys a talking fridge, and enjoys his newfound freedom as his children are "off his hands". Glenn is now in the British Army while William is living with his mother and Mole's ex-wife, Jojo, in Nigeria. A new stage musical adaptation by Jake Brunger and Pippa Cleary opened at Leicester's Curve in March 2015. Townsend had been working with the writers on the project at the time of her death. [10]

Finley-Rose is Glenn's fiancée and mother of his child (unborn as of 2008). She is very clever; she corrects Glenn on his frequent grammatical errors and gets on well with Adrian. She and Glenn meet in a nightclub, and communicate through the bouncer, Tiny Curtis. During Glenn's next spell of leave they spend Christmas 2007 with her grandparents in Scotland, where Glenn proposes. She is a pretty girl, and Adrian is glad that Glenn has managed to find someone so pretty for him.

Sue Townsend referenced many of her friends and family in the books. Whether subtly or directly, many of Sue’s friends often found their names slipped into prose. Adrian is asked out in science class by one Elizabeth Sally Broadway, her daughter with husband Colin Broadway, and Adrian and Pandora see a pantomime starring Carole Hayman as the Princess, Sue Pomeroy as Widow Twankey and Lou Wakefield as the cow; all three of whom were regular collaborators of Townsend’s work on stage. In 2002, he appeared as Dan Moody in the I'm Alan Partridge episode "Bravealan". A scene where Alan repeatedly shouts "Dan!" at Dan from a distance in a car park, while Dan seems not to notice him, was named the second best moment from the series by Metro, [14] and in 2014 Mangan said that he has "Dan!" shouted at him by passers-by almost every day.

Adrian Albert Mole is born 2 April, with the first book establishing the year as 1967. He grows up with his parents in the city of Leicester; before moving to Ashby-de-la-Zouch in England's East Midlands. Adrian's family are largely unskilled working class/ lower middle class. He is an only child until the age of 15, when his half-brother Brett and half-sister Rosie are born. Adrian is not gifted academically but does tolerably well at school, though he does sometimes suffer the ire of headmaster "Pop-Eye" Scruton. Though not especially popular he has a small circle of friends and even a girlfriend Pandora Braithwaite (whose parents Ivan and Tania are affluent Trotskyites). At one point he falls into bad company with Barry Kent and his gang, who had bullied him in earlier years, but generally he keeps out of trouble. Throughout all this Adrian sees himself as an "intellectual" and a thwarted "Great Writer". [1] Nellie Andreeva (2 March 2010). "Trio joins Matt LeBlanc series 'Episodes' ". The Hollywood Reporter.

He frequents the Bear Inn and, like many others of his fellow barflies, dislikes the smoking ban. He employs Daisy Mole as his PA, a job she previously held in London. Hugo and Daisy eventually develop feelings for each other and start an affair, leading to Daisy leaving Adrian, with the two sharing custody of their daughter Gracie. The couple decide to convert the land surrounding Fairfax Hall into a safari park, much to the anguish of the villagers. They themselves form a mob and march to Fairfax Hall. Hugo, rather conveniently, decides to go for a spin in his quad bike, but after some hours does not return. Daisy calls Adrian and the villagers form a search party, the men hunting Hugo and the women, George and Adrian staying behind to comfort Daisy. Hugo is found underneath his quad bike, having crashed and suffering from minor concussion. After making a full recovery, he and Daisy open up Fairfax Hall to the public, allowing Nigel and Lance to conduct their wedding there. Hugo has two daughters from a previous marriage.
