As you grow older, CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Teenagers, on no account, will keep on their diaries and journals. Bin them. If you don't, one day you will surely experience an embarrassing shame if you don't, particularly after someone reads your adolescent poetry aloud. More blood-curdling than that. It's bad enough if your mum discovered those verses when you were 17 - how much worse would it be if your own children found them 30 years later? You can only feel sorry for Dante (Levi Brown), whose inner poetry voice provides the narration for This Town (BBC), a coming-of-age drama set in Birmingham and Coventry in the early 1980s, but you should not have to feel sorry for him.
