DIARY OF A NOBODY
Running Time: 4 x 30 min
An adaptation of George and Weedon Grossmith’s comic masterpiece by Andrew Davies.
Since its publication in the pages of Punch, The Diary of a Nobody has never been out of print. What started out as a witty weekly series commenting on late Victorian manners has become an undisputed classic of comic literature.
The Diary of a Nobody is a series of monologues delivered straight to camera, in which the anachronism and immediacy of the modern medium is used to exploit the timeless nature of the material.

Press
Lovingly observed adaptation of George and Weedon Grossmith’s satire on suburbia – which captures the delusional Pooter in all his foolish, insufferable glory. Beautifully played by Hugh Bonneville.
