Earl participated in Hard Quiz Live at the Theatre Royal, Hobart on November 12, 2022. Her expert subject was Princess Diana and she eventually won the show, taking away the limited edition brass mug. Ciara Baxendale as Izzy, the sweet but ditzy girl of the group. Often cheerful and optimistic, Rae describes her as never having a negative thought. She is in a relationship with Chop.Hay cosas que se han quedado en el aire y no sé si lo que sale en la serie es información verdadera que sucede después de que Rae terminara el año 1989 o se lo inventan totalmente. ¡La autora debería haber dicho algo! It started off well, but then it just went slowly downhill. The same things seemed to happen over and over again and I found myself wondering when something was actually going to happen. All Rae seemed to complain about was her weight, not being able to get a boyfriend and her mum. It really irritated me that she kept complaining about not being able to get a boyfriend due to her weight, but then not doing anything about it. Throughout the three series of the show, the scripts consistently sizzle with witty dialogue. This consistency is probably down to the fact that the total sixteen episodes of Mad Fat Diary were written by a small pool of only four writers. So, to wrap things up – My Mad Fat Diary creates educational, entertaining and emotional TV from its component parts, presenting a lot of laughs alongside a heartfelt narrative and a brutally honest study of mental health. There are endearing performances throughout, and a plenty of juicy character arcs to get your teeth into.

Tom Bidwell, the writer of the show, mentioned in April 2014 in an interview with the Chorley Guardian that MTV has commissioned him to work on an American remake of the show. [18] Awards and nominations [ edit ] Year First of all, I would say that I enjoyed the writing of the book (composed in journal entries). It was a very relevant and realistic teenage voice, that was relate able and sometimes hilarious. Unfortunately, this was the only thing that I really enjoyed about the book, and I kept reading only really because I found the writing easy and fun to read. Ya me habían dicho que el libro no era muy bueno y en este caso la serie de tv era mucho mejor,aún así decidí leerlo antes de verla serie,porque me gusta leer el libro primero antes de cualquier adaptación y también me gusta formar mi propia opinión,pero tenía total razón. He leído libros en forma de diarios,pero este fue aburrido,repetitivo y fastidioso. La protagonista me cayó bien y nunca pude ponerme en su lugar. No pude entenderla y aunque desde el comienzo sabemos que está loca,no es fácil,o muy cómodo leerla.The second series started on 19 February 2014 and ended on 31 March 2014, with each episode posted on 4oD a week prior to the television release. In November 2014, it was announced that a final three-episode third series would be made, set in 1998. [2] [3] This book was originally published in 2007 and I was unaware that in 2013 became a hit television series starring Sharon Rooney. As I reached the halfway point in the book I kept thinking that it should be made into a movie. This is my second time reading this book and I love it more each time. It's so real and there's a part in the book for every person to relate to. Rooney received a Scottish Bafta nomination for best television actress for her performance as Rae. Now 26, she was also named in the 2013 Bafta breakthrough Brits list, an initiative to support the UK’s emerging talent. Yet until Mad Fat Diary, based on the 1990s diaries of author Rae Earl, she had been limited to working for Theatre in Education, a school-touring group, and was about to quit acting. “I said to my mum: ‘I don’t want to do this any more. It’s too hard. I’m not getting any decent parts and I don’t want to compromise who I am.’” What would she have done instead? “I wanted to be a nurse. I helped look after my gran when she was poorly and I always think there’s something really rewarding about helping people. That’s why Mad Fat Diary is so special.” Teenage viewers write to her about their problems – and Rooney has done a lot of research into mental health issues. “You’re not just making a TV show,” she says. “You’re helping people to see that life is good.” The lebsophobia was also ridiculously intense. Again, certainly reflective of the times, but not something I care to relive.
