Diary of a Nobody - Shorts

Andrew Davies's adaptation of George and Weedon Grossmith's novel about the diary of archetypal 'little man' Charles Pooter - endearing, yet obsessed with his own importance. Pooter discovers red enamel paint, and paints many of the family's possessions including the flower pots, their edition of Shakespeare and the bath. They receive a letter from their son Willie and an invitation from the Lord Mayor of London to a Ball at the Mansion House, surely the proudest moment of Pooter's life.
