Confessions of a teenage love addict?

[alexr354]

Hi can anyone help me, there used to be a series in the early 90's. It may have been on BBC2 called I think;

'Confessions of a teenage love addict'

It was an english comedy on about 6.30 at night about a dorky guy at college who really fancied a girl but couldn't get anywhere near her as everyone fancied her. I am sure her name was Amanda

The only other thing of any relevance is that his best friend was a college girl who was a bit of hippy studying art and she drove an old B reg mercedes.

His best friend tries to help him get amanda but sercretly fancies him. In the final episode he finally gets Amanda before reallising that he and his best friend should actually be together.

Does this ring a bell with anyone or am I correct with the name?
As its really bugging me

thanks

I think I know what you mean, it was an adaptation by Daniel Peacock (who also played the Dad in it,) for Channel 4 of the sequel to Confessions Of A Teenage Health Freak, which was also adapted.

I mostly remember the first adaptation better.

You - this was an adaptation of Diary of a Teenage Health freak - a book I read religiously as a teenager.

The TV adaptation was great (although it did stray a bit far from the original book) as was the second series.

Would love to get it on DVD but I don't think it's ever been released - shame really.

Tony Robinson played the headmaster in the first series and Liza Walker was the sexy as hell when I was about 18.
