3. Heartbreak

Episode 3 of 5

The comic actor’s sixth form years are marked by the burden of his virginity - and heartbreak interrupts the laughter.

It's the beginning of the sixth form and Robert's vexed diaries reveal that his virginity is weighing him down.

But it's not long before the laughter is brought to an abrupt stop by heartbreak.

Robert Webb continues his own funny and moving memoir.

Abridged by Richard Hamilton.

Producer: Elizabeth Allard.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in August 2017.
