Toby Young
Writer Toby Young revisits his tearaway teen years, when he had fun playing knock down ginger and skateboarding, but failed most of his exams. With Rufus Hound. From July 2012.
My Teenage Diary returns with six more brave celebrities ready to revisit their formative years by opening up their intimate teenage diaries, and reading them out in public for the very first time.
IN this fourth programme in the series, comedian Rufus Hound is joined by writer Toby Young who revisits his teenage years, when he had a lot of fun playing knock down ginger, shooting pea shooters, and skateboarding - but let his academic work suffer.
He reflects on his mis-spent youth and talks about how it has changed his perceptions of young offenders today.
