Sue Townsend (Adrian Mole Author)

Recommended Posts

Will be turning 62 this year. That's not old by DeathList standards, but she's been suffering from diabetes for many years and is registered blind. Might be worth considering as a possibility at some stage, especially if there's news of further health problems.

 

Would doubtless get a UK obituary.

I'm bumping this to see if anyone has any thoughts. There hasn't been any recent news, but if there is, she could possibly be worth adding.

Hard one to call, some diabetics go on for years. What we need is a MOLE (heh heh) to give us the inside line.

Well, if I finally get round to moving to the Stoneygate area of my (and Sue's) home city, I'll watch out for her... :banghead:

Adrian Mole was my childhood hero. I hope she will live for some time, because one of my greatest wills was to meet her and talk to her.

Apparently has died of a stroke - no concrete sources as yet, however

A friend who works for the Daily Telegraph told me, but there doesn't seem to be any official confirmation yet.

I have been searching rigorously and can only find Twitter feeds relating to a publishing network who appear to have released the news.

If it's true then it'll come out in the wash.

 

Shame. Good writer. The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole was the teen book of the 80s...

Despite having her on my DDP I will be sad if she went as I loved Adrian Mole . Stephen Mangan (who played Adrian) has stated on Twitter that he has been asked to be interviewed about it on the Today Programme tomorrow.

Very sad to see her go but like Shaun of the Dead I did pick her on the DDP so that is two of my teams off the mark now.
