My Mad Fat Diary

Set in 1996 Lincolnshire, the show tells the tragic and humorous story of a very troubled young girl, Rae, who spent four months in a psychiatric hospital for attempted suicide. After finally leaving the hospital, Rae reconnects with her best friend Chloe and her group, none of whom are aware of Rae's mental-health and body-image problems and her four-month hospital stay.

Rae is accepted at Bristol university dependent on good exam grades but when Finn asks her to move in with her she decides to decline the offer, telling everybody that she has been rejected. Kester is disappointed, telling her that she is now secure enough to give up counselling and move on and when school leaver Katie, now at Bristol herself, gives a confidence-boosting speech Rae is confused as to what to do. Finn's view that she should go to Bristol only confuses her further as does seeing Archie with his first boyfriend, record shop owner Rob. She calls her friends together for advice but disaster strikes when they are in a car crash.
