My Big Fat Diary
 

My Big Fat Diary started on E4 tonight... what did you guys think of it? I liked it, though it was a little triggering for me.

I enjoyed it. It was feel good TV, particularly at the end.

I enjoyed it :)

Based on the real diary of Rae Earl, who used to be a radio presenter on the no-longer airing Leicester Sound, so remember some of this from car rides to school!

I liked it. Was anxious it might trigger me but it didnt at all, will be watching again :)

I really enjoyed it, I think it was done quite well.

Leicester Sound is no longer aired? What?! I used to listen to that all the time.

oh my god, i just watched it and i suspected it would remind me of me but jesus i did find it a bit triggering but purely because i suspect someone stole my diary :0

was good though i enjoyed it and will def be watching more

Can any explain to me what this was/is about? I'm intrigued!

its just about a 16 year old girls expoites after she leave the psych ward. her trying to make friends and be 'normal' and fit in basically

Just realised, I believe it's called 'My Mad Fat Diary'.

Oh, I might give it watch if it's on demand.

They got rid of it and now there's just Capital, which sucks in comparison. Woe! :P

I watched it. I thought it was really good and positive. Could relate quiet a bit too.

I've just watched it again and enjoyed it even more the second time around. I've seen one of the guy actors in something else though. It's bugging me. Think I need to take a trip over to Wikipedia.

Hollyoaks! That was my guess.

I am disappointed. ): That radio station was my childhood!

I saw it and really enjoyed it, but I thought Rae is way cooler than all the friends she's trying to impress. It made me think back to being 16 and how I would have dealt with the issue of stigma. I loved her accent and thought she was funny (and that her therapist is awesome).

One bug-bear: her friend Tix threw a glass vase of flowers that was in the psych. ward toilet. I know it was a daydream of Rae's, but I think a plastic one might have been more realistic.

Still loving this.. Found it slightly triggering last night but on,y I'm a sense of being able to relate to getting the bad feelings out.

I too think Rae seems cooler than her friends and the things she does to fit in. A lot of it is her self belief though isn't it?

I haven't watched it yet but wanted to point this out too.
