Gavin and Stacy, Season 2 on BBC America!

As someone who is a really-fattie, definitely not an in-betweenie, it is rare to see myself in the media unless it’s a picture of a headless-fattie. Usually I have to be happy with the rare instance of an actress that’s Hollywood fat.

Since Gilmore Girls ended, I have been sorely missing any sight of myself on TV. But there is a new bright spot in my life! The new season of Gavin and Stacy just started on BBC America.

The show is written by two really-fatties, the amazing Ruth Jones and James Corden, who play best friends of the main characters.

Now, Gavin and Stacy isn’t about being fat. It’s a Rom-Com about the culture clash of two people from different parts of the UK trying to date.

If your interested in a show about “being fat,” then I would recommend another show from the UK, that features Ruth Jones and James Corden, called Fat Friends. It’s a comedy about a group of friend from a commercial weight loss group. Sadly, only Season One of Fat Friends is available on Netflix.
