The Television Show

The books success led to, in 1994, a one-off television special on Channel 4 called Coping with Grown-ups, shown as part of Channel 4's Look Who's Talking strand, featuring shows made by children. This was followed by Coping With Christmas in 1995,[1] and a 6-part series across the 1997-1998 new year: Holidays, School, Cool, Relatives, Girls, Boys. These won multiple awards, including a BAFTA.
