"Completely starkers!" September 1986

About this episode

Penny reflects on life changes and memorable experiences as she approaches her 16th birthday.

Penny is in a philosophical mood, faced with the end of Jesus Christ Superstar, the beginning of the Fifth Form, her impending 16th Birthday, marriage, the trials of getting old. She sees her first full frontal naked man (never to be forgotten!) and there are some questionable fund-raising activities at the Village Show. No guests this month, it’s just you and me.
