TV Show directory - Chewin' The Fat
Chewin' the Fat is a Scottish comedy sketch show, starring Ford Kiernan, Greg Hemphill and Karen Dunbar. Comedians Paul Riley and Mark Cox also appeared regularly on the show.
Chewin' the Fat first started as a radio series on BBC Radio Scotland. The later television show, which ran for four series, was first broadcast on BBC One Scotland, but series three and four, as well as highlights from the first two series, were later broadcast to the rest of the United Kingdom. Although the last series ended in February 2002, Hogmanay specials were aired on New Year's Eve between 2002 and 2005.
Chewin' the Fat gave birth to two spin-off shows: Still Game, a sitcom focusing on the two old men, Jack and Victor, from the series and The Karen Dunbar Show, which is another sketch show featuring comedian Karen Dunbar.
