Welcome Can we describe Adolescence as ‘era-defining’ television yet? From the vantage point of May 2025 it certainly feels as though
we can, what with its name-checking in dozens of newspaper
op-eds and Keir Starmer’s demands for it to be shown in schools
across the country (details on page 9).

our minds completely come December – but for now, at least, it
seems to have succeeded in doing what the likes of Cathy Come Home and Boys From The Blackstuff did aeons ago, and what Mr Bates vs The Post Office managed last year – thrust an urgent, contemporary issue centre stage so that mainstream audiences start talking about it, to the extent that our most senior decision-makers feel compelled to pay attention.
