Been meaning to post this one for a while and kept forgetting about it. I didn;t follow the whole show, just caught bits of it and was really impressed.

My Mad Fat Diary: A coming of age/growing up comedy drama. The main character is a 16 year old girl who is overweight and has just come home after four months in a psychiatric unit. It's based on the writer's own experiences and diary when she was growing up - a really honest and touching insight into the insecurities of growing up made that bit more difficult by having to also deal with a mental illness and body image problems.

The young lass playing the lead is brilliant.

Promo for the first series.
