Mad Fat Diary

[Amandine29]

Did anyone watch? New series seems a bit different to the last.

I know it's a bit teenage but that stuff is one of my guilty pleasures

Im in lincs and sound nothing like that

I mean why was the situation making him so angry? If its because he doesnt want rae to get hurt.i think he went a little OTT.
I was frustrated at the end of ep6 because i so wanted rae to go and find her friend!

I'm also Linc originally & don't sound like that!

There's obviously a variation within the county but I grew up not far from Stamford & I don't think any of us sound(ed) like that!

That should have been from Lincs...

According to Wiki, Rae Earl went to Stamford High School which is fee paying?

Well one of the actresses at least iis a manc

I think she got a scholarship to Stamford High School. In the book she says they lived in a council house and were fairly poor. This is one thing that doesn't really fit in the tv version...she's always wearing converse/leather jackets etc but in the book her mum couldn't afford nice clothes for her. And the tv house isn't a council house.

Real life Chloe is from Liverpool I think. And Finn and Chop are Manc. Rae's English accent is really northern as well. Archie and Izzy are a bit more neutral.

The school used to take 50 girls and 50 boys each year on scholarship, with the council paying their fees. It went down to 25 and doesn't happen anymore.

I didn't know Rae - I'm three years younger.

one of the other gang of girls is manc x

MINUS THE KISS.
Am texting my sister at the same time grrr

The one that used to be on Coronation Street? Stacey, Finn's ex I think.

Love this show so much

Gone off Liam now!

I love it. My favourite telly prog at the moment.

I love this programme! I was 17 and at college in 1996 so this all feels very familiar and I can definitely see alot of my teenage self in Rae!
The last episode was so sad, poor Rae :( And so sad how she had to dump Finn even though she really liked him. I hope he comes back from Leeds and they get another chance. And he's so pretty too ;)

Watched episode 7 this morning and cried a lot, again. Really had me sobbing haha.
Amazing show, fabulous actors,beautifully written.
A lot of people on the fb fan page want a 3rd series but i think this ended just perfectly.

It really doesn't need a third series as it all finished so well. Though I am sad it ended so soon.

Love this programme so much. Watched episode 7 and cried. I agree, I don't think it needs a third series but sad it's over - mind you, the scriptwriting is so tremendous they would more than likely do a third season justice.

I've still got last episode to record on the planner Monday night

Have you all watched the last episode?

I haven't seen the last ep.

Will record Mon & watch tues.

Just watching last episode now. Have cried several times!

I've just watched the last episode. Such a good ending. I had a big stupid grin on my face all through the last scene. Great writing and acting.

Ha ha so did I! I am grinning through teary eyes. I so loved this show.

Erm, I think I want series 3....

It wsas excellent, wasn't it?

I wonder how much of it really happened?

I think a 3rd series might veer too much into soapland!

Rae Earl said that with the second series she gave the producer "themes", so probably not all that much. I'm dying to know where all the other people are, what happened to her and fin etc.
Ive seen her on the E4 clips and she is so confident :D

I'm reading the book atm & there's not an awful lot of correlation so far!

Just watched the last episode it was brilliant really well acted. I've enjoyed both series and part of me wants a 3rd series but the ending was perfect it doesn't really need one!
