All of these dramas are about backing great writers to say something truly distinctive. With these new commissions we also have a wonderful range from the dark and menacing tone of The Fear to the comic warmth of Mad Fat Teenage Diary. The series is based on the autobiographical My Mad Fat Teenage Diary by Rae Earl. My Mad Fat Diary follows Rachel Rae Earl, an overweight 16-year-old trying to find herself in the fog of mental illness. Hunt commented: “Channel 4 has never shied away from powerful, authored drama. Now, Hulu’s most recent acquisition, My Mad Fat Diary, is My So-Called Life for a new generation. The series is amongt a slate of new commissions for 2012-2013 by Channel 4 Chief Creative Officer Jay Hunt, including conspiracy drama Utopia and crime drama The Fear. 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 and has no idea how hilarious they are.Written by Tom Bidwell and adapted from Rae Earl’s real-life diary and book of the same name, the six-part series takes “a warm, hilarious and honest look at teenage life from the perspective of an overweight sixteen-year-old girl in mid 90s Lincolnshire… who – despite a bonkers mother and her own mental health issues – has a huge lust for life, love and Liam Gallagher”. My Mad Fat Diary will appeal to anyone who's lived through the 1980s. My Mad Fat Diary evokes a vanished time when Charles and Di are still together, the Berlin wall is up, Kylie is expected to disappear from the charts at any moment and it's GBP1 for a Snakebite and Black in the Vaults pub. This is the hilarious and touching real-life diary she 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 is now a major new comedy for E4! It's 1989 and Rae is a fat, boy-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.
