My Mad Fat Diary (Series 1, 2 & 3) - 5-DVD Box Set ( My Mad Fat Diary (Series One, Two & Three) ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ]

Still trying to find the right dvd player to watch it.

Loca porque llegar para verla. Gracias

Was able to watch and none of the disks were scratched up

Tried it on my all of my TVs in the house including my PS2 same pop up came up saying cannot play in this region.

Love the series! Comes with series 1,2 and 3

Perfect.

Perfect!! :D

Absolutely obsessed with this series! Had to buy a region free player. I would have gave this 5 stars but the box says it's 6 disc but it only contains 5.

Seduced by the 5-star reviews I rented this series. And, after initially cringing for about 10 minutes (let's face it, the main heroine, Rae, is not very pleasing to the eye; plus the Northern accent was hard for me to swallow), I ended up watching the Season One of "My Mad Fat Diary" in one sitting. Yes, you read that right.The characters, and especially Rae, are all very lovable (perhaps with the exception of Rae's "bestie" Chloe), the narrative is fast-paced and full of humour and sarcasm, the show is very insightful and tackles almost all of the problems generally faced by the teenagers, from first crash to buying condoms in the pharmacy, from mental health issues to body image and generation gap. Plus, it very cleverly shows the good and the bad, and you just can't help but sympathises and fall a little in love with Rae and her good heart. I digged for her.And last but not least, the soundtrack of the show is truly fantastic, it's like a separate character, truly a best friend of amazing Rae. Fantastic series, very funny (with a lot of sarcasm thrown in!) and honest, add to this a witty and lovable main heroine, engrossing storyline and excellent music - and you have one amazing series (and not only for the teenagers!).I definitely recommend!

I never watched this when it was on the TV but I have always wanted too.I am glad I purchased this without watching it on TV first because I absolutely loved it. I can see aspects of myself in Rae. We both have journals, I don't like myself and my weight etc. So watching this has been a bit of an eye opener really. It is very comical at times which helps to lighten the mood after a particularly dark point in the series. Each character is lovable and has something going for them so no one really fades into the background.I look forward to watching series 2.I recommend this product to teens and adults. It has adult humor but many teens will relate to some of the characters. I also like the fact that it is set in the mid 90's so it isn't completely void of technology but not packed with mobile phones and he internet like some series are today. It helps to create emotional attachments and keeps the story interesting. I especially like the fact that letters and postcards are used as a means of communication. You don't see that very often anymore.

The main difference of this programme to others is its relatability. Most programmes now that are centred on growing up as a teenager are so far from real, you find yourself not having that attachment that this good drama/comedy gives you. For example I watched skins the first couple of series and it just seems to me that it was a party every night, sex and drugs and all of the characters were not that likeable.All American teenage growing up dramas of late I think are terribly fake and I feel sorry for the teenage generation now when they watch these teenage programmes and may think that that's what there lives should be, being a size zero with unlimited plastic surgery and rich, its very boring and has been done over and over again.(my so called life, was a great American show)This programme should be watched by all teenagers because there is something for everyone. There are many opportunities for programmes in the UK to be made for teenagers (and adults) like this show dealing with different problems growing and living with. They don't do enough programmes about ethnic groups growing up in the UK or any where else, or homosexuality as a teenager or disability. It just seems that there are a lot of super hero/rich/singing/celebrity shows that are so fake and boring, this show is far from that its as real as you can get and its refreshing to see. roll on series 2.

I picked this DVD boxset up just before season 2 began airing on a whim...and I'm very glad I did!My Mad Fat Diary follows the personal life of Rae Earl as she steps out of a mental hospital and into 'normal' life; thrown in with all the things teenage girls identify with - body issues, boys, having new friends, etc...with an added pressure: Not letting her newly found friends discover her past and present issues with mental health.The directing in this I found particularly interesting; I really felt that the show tackled the concept of mental health, from the person experiencing it, to those around Rae reacting to it, in a mature, realistic way.Be warned; this show is not for everyone. At times, it can be very difficult to watch; I suggest watching it when you're in the mood for something gritty with a few splashes of humour to lighten things up. I watched the whole series in a single viewing!It's a great show, all in all. Check it out!

I watched this with my teenage daughter and we both thought it was brilliant. We loved the twists and turns of the relationships and the complex characters. The soundtrack is great - even (for an old fogey like me) Spaceman! Claire Rushbrook and Ian Hart stand out for me but the whole cast are believable. Each week, we couldn't wait for the next episode so, as soon as it was available, I ordered the DVD. Highly recommended. For information, the series deals with issues which include teenage sex and sexuality, drugs, self harm, mental health, bullying. Above all, this programme is warm and funny, with real heart.
