| My Mad Fat Diary | comment |
A Channel 4 comedy-drama show about Rachel 'Rae' Earl (Sharon Rooney), a 16-year-old girl returning to the outside world after spending time in a mental hospital. Based on a published diary (called 'My Fat, Mad Teenage Diary) by the author of the same name. Originally marketed as a romantic comedy about Rae's quest to 'get a shag' despite her weight, although actually focuses far more on her struggle with mental illness.Rae's mental health and body image issues are a big part of her character, and hit home for a lot of viewers who are going through, or who have gone through similar issues in their own lives. Rae struggles to keep her issues hidden from her new friends, but at the same time longs to tell them the truth the closer she becomes to them.As well as trying to be a normal teenager, Rae has to deal with her somewhat flighty mother and her illegal immigrant lover, sessions with her brutally honest therapist Kester, and her friendship with Tix and Danny, who were residents at the psychiatric hospital.The three chavs who follow Rae around throwing insults at her aren't making things any easier.It launched on E4 on 14 January 2013, with Series 1 running for six episodes.Series 2, consisting of eight episodes aired in 2014. It primarily focused on Rae's relationship with the gang and the new challenges as they began College (Last two years of Secondary School/High School to the rest of us).The third and final series, consisting of just three episodes, aired on in late June and July 2015. It's 1998 and Rae is in her final year of school. She is faced with a dilemma: stay in Stamford with Finn and the gang or accept her university offer in Bristol? Also, Kester wants to bring their therapy session to an end. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
| My Mad Fat Diary / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Rae and her mum share such a moment in 'It's A Wonderful Rae: Part 2', although they admit they will never be a 'hugging' family. For all the fights and resentment Rae and Chloe sometimes have for each other, it is obvious that they care deeply about one another, especially when Rae reads Chloe's diary and reads about how Chloe cried with worry about her. | |

Right Behind Me: In 'Girls', in an attempt to fit in the Stacey's gang, Rae describes a lonely nerdy girl called Linda Carver as the biggest loser in school and berates her thick glasses and her reading of books. Linda is, of course, right behind Rae the entire time she says this. | |

| My Mad Fat Diary / int_22a27b19 | comment |
Alpha Bitch: Stacey, the head of a popular Girl Posse in Rae's college, whom Rae briefly pals around with in 'Girls'. Not only is she fake and snobbish, she makes snide comments about all her posse when they're not around and treats Chloe like her personal servant. Thankfully, Rae and Chloe eventually tell her off and stop hanging around with her or the posse. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| My Mad Fat Diary / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: A minor example but in 'Big Wide World' (set on 10 July 1996, as indicated by the diary at the start), Rae is listening to the song Beautiful Freak by Eels whilst throwing scrunched-up papers in the bin ("if this goes in the bin, Archie will definitely sleep with me"), a song which wasn't released on an album until a month later (13 August 1996) or on a single in 1997. Similarly, when Rae enters Chloe's room in 'Not I', you can spot Britney Spears' "Fantasy" perfume on Chloe's desk. "Fantasy" didn't lauch until 2008. | |

Disappeared Dad: Rae’s dad left her and her mum sometime during her childhood and has not been heard from since.

He makes an appearance in Series 2 but doesn't seem very interested in a relationship with his daughter. She eventually decides not to bother anymore and stops contacting him. | |

Dresses the Same | |
| My Mad Fat Diary / int_33900b7 | comment |
Dresses the Same: Playing with the trope - in trying to look more girly in comparison with Chloe, Rae goes shopping for more feminine wear. She tries on a red dress with side panel cutouts. It doesn't go well - which means of course the next time we see Chloe, she's wearing the exact same dress. | |

Character Development | |
| My Mad Fat Diary / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Rae in particular. In series one, she is a deeply distressed girl with a lot of self-esteem issues and relies on Kester to help her make decisions. In series two, having come clean about her mental health issues to everyone, she is slightly better but still has occasional hiccups. In series three, Rae has developed to the point where Kester brings their sessions to an end, she tells her friends they don't need to worry about her anymore and she convinces her mum to go to Tunisia with Karim even though her mum is afraid to leave her on her own. | |

Technology Marches On: In-universe. In 'Radar', Rae and Finn get trapped in the disabled toilet in college and are trying to get out without attracting any attention. Rae asks Finn if by chance he has one of those "mobile telephones", and he replies to her that he isn't a millionaire, so of course not. Justified and Truth in Television, since it is 1996. | |

British Brevity: The show has only three seasons; the first two were collectively thirteen episodes long, while the third series only had three episodes and served as more of an outro than as a full series. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| My Mad Fat Diary / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: It's implied this is why Rae ended up in the psychiatric hospital in the first place. Rae also contemplates jumping off a bridge during the Series 1 finale, but is stopped when she is hit by a car while crossing the road. | |

Deceptive Legacy | |
| My Mad Fat Diary / int_6d664435 | comment |
Deceptive Legacy: Rae has been led to believe all her life that her Disappeared Dad is living in the Outer Hebrides and is sending her regular postcards with news and inspirational quotes. It's eventually revealed that Linda is the one who has been writing them the whole time and has been lying to her. In reality she has no idea where her Dad really is nor has he ever tried to contact them. Rae takes it quite well, considering. Until 'It's A Wonderful Rae: Part 2', when she starts crying about it, despite saying just minutes before she isn't bothered by it. | |

Once More, with Clarity: In the episode 'Not I', Rae reads Chloe's diary when she is missing. We get to see all the major events of Series 1 and 2 from Chloe's point of view. We get to see how Chloe perceived everything as it was happening. It turns out Chloe is not at all as mean as Rae had thought she was at previous points. | |

Indulgent Fantasy Segue | |
| My Mad Fat Diary / int_9e727954 | comment |
Indulgent Fantasy Segue: Very common in this show. In 'It’s a Wonderful Rae: Part 2', Rae suddenly drags Chloe from the cafe they're sitting in out onto the street, dropping her in the road. Rae then gets into a van and proceeds to run her over by reversing over before it's revealed that the whole sequence was all in Rae's head. In 'Big Wide World', when Rae is leaving the hospital and imagines Dr Kassar being disappointed that she is leaving as he never "got a chance to do a sex" on her. In 'Alarm', she imagines touching Finn's hand in his car and him ripping off his top and shouting at her to "get into the back seat now". In 'Radar', she imagines herself dousing the 'Hi Boys' lingerie poster with petrol and setting it on fire. In 'Girls', she images her own head exploding with blood splattering on Chloe when Chloe is explaining a long complex list of things not to mention or talk about to Stacey's Gang. In 'Voodoo', Rae overdoses on her prescription pills and drowns herself in her bathtub, with Finn bursting in to save her. It is just her imagination and she doesn't take the overdose, deciding instead to try and help herself instead of relying on others to do so. | |

The Peeping Tom: Mrs Dewhurst (the elderly neighbour) thinks Rae is one, as she caught her looking at her naked breasts when Rae opened her curtains. Mrs Dewhurst does warm to Rae as Series 1 goes on though, (possibly because it's implied she fancies her). Archie in episode 2, a later episode implied it was not the first time. | |

The bullies pick on Rae by calling her Jabba. The plot of 'It's a Wonderful Rae: Part 2', with Tix showing her what her friends' lives would be like if she died, is borrowed from It's a Wonderful Life. | |

Weight Woe | |
| My Mad Fat Diary / int_e7ecdeb0 | comment |
Weight Woe: A lot of Rae's issues stem from her weight. Her own self-loathing about her size aside, she's also called names in the street and frequently finds herself in situations where her larger body is forcibly put on display. Chloe is terrified about gaining weight, to the extent that she stops taking her birth control medication as weight gain is a possible side effect. Tix is bulimic and is often found in the bathroom throwing up. She obsessively counts calories and forces herself to exercise even when she's exhausted. This leads to her eventual death of a heart attack, as her body was too weak to recover from it. Rae's mum is a much lighter example; she's frequently on strange diets such as the alphabet diet when she can only eat foods beginning with a certain letter, or the 'Russian peasant' diet. But she usually gives in by the end of the episode.* You Are Grounded!: Rae, by her Mum, many times throughout. It's why Rae has to sneak out for her date with Archie in 'Touched'. Also the reason why Rae can't go to the rave in 'It’s a Wonderful Rae: Part 1'. | |
