My Mad Fat Diary is now a major new comedy for E4! It's 1989 and Rae is a fat, b
oy-mad 17-year-old girl, living in Stamford, Lincolnshire with her mum and their
deaf white cat in a council house with a mint off-green bath suite and a larder
Rae can't keep away from. This is the hilarious and touching real-life diary sh
e kept during that fateful year - with characters like her evil friend Bethany,
Bethany's besotted boyfriend, and the boys from the grammar school up the road (
who have code names like Haddock and Battered Sausage). My Mad Fat Diary evokes
a vanished time when Charles and Di are still together, the Berlin wall is up, K
ylie is expected to disappear from the charts at any moment and it's GBP1 for a
Snakebite and Black in the Vaults pub.
