Ghost Children (1997), a novel treating the issues of bereavement, child abuse and women's self-esteem in relation to body image. Townsend's new partner encouraged her to join a writers' group at the Phoenix Theatre, Leicester, in 1978, when she was in her early thirties. Initially too shy to speak, she did not write anything for six weeks, but was then given a fortnight to write a play. This became the thirty-minute drama Womberang (1979), set in the waiting room of a gynaecology department. [10] At the Phoenix, she became the writer-in-residence. [5]He needn’t have gone to Specsavers. Despite the television series casting its lead bespectacled, Adrian makes no reference in his first diary to wearing spectacles nor attending opticians’ appointments. Sue said she never visualised Adrian facially; it wasn’t until she saw John Major (who was UK prime minister from 1990-97) on television that she finally realised what Adrian looked like.

Luigi is the Italian maitre'd at Savage's. Luigi is a communist. He greets the guests and shows the guests to their tables. He and Adrian get along well. Luigi develops athlete's foot and is caught washing it in the sink by the health inspectors - violating seventeen of the two-hundred odd counts brought against Savage and his restaurant. Malcolm is the severely under-educated dish-washer during Adrian's stint as head chef at Savage's. Malcolm is not especially bright, but Adrian appreciates his friendship. When a cat that looks uncannily like the Downing Street cat, Humphrey, appears at the restaurant it is Malcolm that takes it in and lavishes it with expensive playthings and food. Malcolm christens the cat 'Humfri' as he only understands phonetic spelling. He is a labour supporter.

The 'same age as Jesus when he died', Adrian Mole has become a martyr: a single-father bringing up two young boys in an uncaring world. It is mentioned that Adrian's middle name, Albert, is after his paternal grandfather. However, in The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole, it is stated that his name was Arnold, and as Arthur in Weapons of Mass Destruction. However, he is simply called Grandad Mole. Adrian's maternal grandparents, the Sugdens, have never had their names revealed, although Pauline has two brothers, Dennis and Pete. Dennis married a woman called Marcia, and they had a son called Maurice, and Pete married a woman called Yvonne, who had died. Grandma Sugden had died twenty years previously, as of The Lost Diaries. Adrian's aunt, Susan Mole, appears in most – if not all – of the books. Susan is a lesbian and prison warden at Holloway Prison. In earlier books, she is dating a woman called Gloria, but later is married to another woman called Amanda. George was born in 1940 to parents Albert (or Arnold/Arthur) and Edna May Mole. He was the elder brother to Susan Mole, his lesbian sister, who married a woman called Amanda and works in Holloway Prison.
