'The Diary of a Nobody' records the life of an ordinary man, the putative Samuel Pepys of his day, who rather pompously paints a picture of himself that is both unwittingly hilarious and also most endearing. The accident-prone Pooter lives in the London suburb of Holloway and this diary is a catalogue of his triumphs and disasters, including run-ins with uppity tradesmen, wince-making jokes he shares with his wife, hapless attempts at DIY, and clashes with his louche son Lupin over his unsuitable choice of fiancée.
