Now, he's finally reopening his diaries with his best friend Lizzie! They talk school, bullying, teachers, TV, crushes, sex, MSN, and everything in between.

It's Lizzie's turn! Scott and Lizzie take a look at her diary from the summer of 2002, which quickly descends in to a totally bonkers tribute to Family Guy and Austin Powers star Seth Green...
It's Christmas! Scott and Lizzie take a look at Scott's bizarre collection of celebrity autographs, from Blue Peter presenters, the cast and crew of Two Pints, the incomparable Beverley Callard and many more. Lizzie also opens up another of her bonkers celebrity journals - in her crosshairs this time is everybody's favourite Jackass star Chris Pontius.
In this Y2K extravaganza, Scott finally unearths his millennium time capsule containing a whole host of surprises from the year 2000 including a commemorative newspaper, a government advice leaflet about the looming Millennium bug, and goes back to where it all began with a diary from 1999. Lizzie and Scott chat NYE celebrations, what was hot and what was not, and noughties Page 3 girls.
Scott and Lizzie open up Lizzie's year 11 leaver's book and read all about vanishing dates, arch nemeses, and regrettable hook ups. Elsewhere, they chat about the perils of reaching out to a teenage crush in adulthood, first hand celebrity gossip and how dirty clinkers make the perfect gift.
The bumper Christmas extravaganza continues as Scott and Lizzie open up his leaver's book and read all about how hot he was in year 4, tomato sauce based comedy and squeezing in to a culturally inappropriate outfit. Elsewhere, table talk turns to trips to the dentist, MSN emoji codes and secret knee kissing.
The leaver's messages continue as Scott and Lizzie read all about the days of MySpace Street Teams, skiving P.E for two years and dramatic tumbles down the stairs. Around the table, they chat accidentally driving to Wales, playing spin the bottle and getting accused of being a fluffer.
In the fourth and final part of the four bird roast, Scott and Lizzie find out what teachers REALLY thought of him, more thinly veiled swipes, unfortunate nicknames and dreams of stardom. Elsewhere, they chat school reunions, sexy scarecrows, scary skeletons and Scott's 2008 letter from Lizzie as he departed for university.

Happy Christmas RSD fans! The podcast with heart returns for a joyful walk down memory lane as Scott and Lizzie take a look at more tat from Scott's past, unearthing boiled lemurs, a disturbing Rydell High shirt and a shocking piece of morbid memorabilia. Elsewhere, table talk turns to intimate waxing, sandy sandwiches and tackle whether Lizzie is finally a MILF.
Myself and Lizzie open up my diary from 2003 and find out what I had for breakfast, which of my friends were liars, which ones were bonking, and what happened when I got caught writing an erotic story in geography.
With his best friend Lizzie, Scott opens up his diary from 2003 and finds out what he had for breakfast, which of his friends were liars, which ones were bonking, and what happened when he got caught writing an erotic story in geography.
Scott rents X-Men on video and steals a squirrel. Meanwhile, at school, his music teacher is a cruel witch, exams start and the I Hate Scott contract is delivered. Elsewhere, Scott and Lizzie chat Eurotrash, having a TV in your room as a kid, and how they first met.
Some inappropriate hickies are given and Big Brother 4 starts. In other news, Scott starts going to drama club, revamps his hairstyle, and suckles lukewarm tea from a baby’s bottle. Around the table, Lizzie and Scott chat inappropriate comments on nights out, getting up early to play video games and teachers being mean.
In this warts and all reading, Scott applies for his first job, floods his bathroom and reads his first porno mag. Meanwhile, a game of dares gets steamy, things get violent in the school library, and Lizzie loses the will to live.
Scott heads to the Lake District on the annual Year 8 Camp, where he has some fun with a packet of Wine Gums, harshly criticises the camp talent show, sees a ghostly figure in the woods and struggles with his body image. Back at home, Big Brother 4 ends and the summer holidays begin.
As Scott and Lizzie bicker over the title, the summer holidays continue, Scott's dad returns with disappointing gifts, his dreams of selling pies are dashed and his Autumn show is reworked after a harsh review from his mum. Aside from family visits and summer barbecues, he relabels his VHS tapes and watches a lot of TV.
The summer holidays come to an end as Scott starts year 9. He starts sex education, has his artwork criticised and tries to figure out with Lizzie if his voice has broken. Meanwhile, Lizzie introduces Scott to MRS NERG and they reminisce about their favourite teachers.
Scott starts his new job as a paper boy, gets his school photo taken, gets a harsh reality check in PE, and his toilet is moved in to the garden. Away from the diary, it’s Christmas Day! Scott and Lizzie talk presents, and reminisce about GCSE results and first kisses.
Performing on the same stage as Elvis, Scott gets a taste of the limelight and feels the thrill of a rapturous crowd. Elsewhere, Scott and Lizzie discuss theme parks, their very first email addresses, have a very poor grasp of maths and remember the time Scott glued himself to his bed pretending to be a tarantula.
Scott bobs for a banana, gets put on report card, meets his paper round bully for the first time and his insults become more creative by the day. Meanwhile, Scott and Lizzie discuss the perils of fireworks and being a teenager in the age of MSN, Limewire and Kazaa.
