Curiosidades
The story was inspired by the real-life case of Jack Taylor (1946 - 4 February 2006) from Bradford who took part in a TV weigh-in with Barry Austin (who played Big Brian in this film) for the title of The Fattest Man in Britain.

Erros de gravação
Georgie hasn't been out of the house since his mother died, but near the end of the film when he ventures into the outside world for the first time in 23 years, he has a coat that fits him.

Citações
Georgie Godwin: That's why this title is so important to me, Amy. The Fattest Man in Britain. Because if I'm not the fattest, I'm just a fat man. Just a big fat man sat in his chair.
Amy: You've already got a title, Georgie: you're My Friend.

Fabulous, one of my favourite TV dramas.

The story of Britain's fattest man Georgie Godwin, inspired by real life events. A man who's seemingly proud of his huge stature, but totally taken advantage of

I have had weight issues personally, so this drama is very special to me, when it first aired, I had lost a massive amount of weight, it all went back on, having lost the bulk of it again, I felt able to watch this again.

This is a magical one off drama, it's funny, it's heartfelt, it's moving, and it's fairly motivational to the right person as well.

Tommy from Burnley's funeral is one of the funniest things I have ever seen, and the scene between Joyce and The Vicar is an absolute scream fest, it is always wonderful to see Mrs Brown out of uniform.

The acting is sublime, Timothy Spall can do no wrong in my eyes, he is quite literally one of the best there is, he is fabulous, as is the makeup he's in, quite remarkable. Bobby Ball, the late legend is also on the top of his game, throw in the gorgeous Frances Barber, and you get something this good.

The music is tremendous here too.

Fabulous, 10/10.
