A story about the special love between a parent & a child.
Join Mummy Bear & Baby Bear as they discover that love
My Mad Fat Diary is now a major new comedy for E4! It's 1989 & Rae is a fat, boy-mad 17-year-old girl, living in Stamford, Lincolnshire with her mum & their deaf white cat in a council house with a mint off-green bath suite & a larder Rae can't keep away from. This is the hilarious & touching real-life diary she kept during that fateful year
- with characters like her evil friend Bethany, Bethany's besotted boyfriend, & the boys from the grammar school up the road (who have code names like Haddock & Battered Sausage). My Fat, Mad Teenage Diary evokes a vanished time when Charles & Di are still together, the Berlin wall is up, Kylie is expected to disappear from the charts at any moment & it's ?1 for a Snakebite & Black in the Vaults pub. My Fat, Mad Teenage Diary will appeal to anyone who's lived through the 1980s. But it will also strike a chord with anyone who's ever been a confused, lonely teenager who clashes with their mother, takes themselves VERY seriously & has no idea how hilarious they are.
