Fat Friends is an ITV drama created by Kay Mellor, which aired from October 12, 2000, to March 24, 2005. It follows a group of overweight individuals, exploring their laughter and pain while addressing the absurdities of dieting in our modern age. The show examines how people relate to one another and use body weight as an excuse for various shortcomings in their relationships or for not fully living their lives. Four cast members—Ruth Jones, James Corden, Sheridan Smith, and Alison Steadman—went on to appear in Gavin & Stacey.
