When Alan Davies was growing up he seemed to drive his family mad.
'What are we going to do with you?' they would ask - as if he might
know the answer. Perhaps it was because he came of age in the
1980s. That decade of big hair, greed, camp music, mass
unemployment, social unrest and truly shameful trousers was
confusing for teenagers. There was a lot to believe in - so much to
stand for, or stand against - and Alan decided to join anything
with the word 'anti' in it. He was looking for heroes to guide him
(relatively) unscathed into adulthood. From his chronic kleptomania
to the moving search for his mother's grave years after she died;
from his obsession with joining (going so far as to become a member
of Chickens Lib) to his first forays into making people laugh (not
always intentionally); Teenage Revolution is a touching and funny
return to the formative years that make us all.
