Chewin' the Fat

Common card · No. 284208

Chewin' the Fat is a Scottish comedy sketch show created by Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill and produced by Effingee Productions and the Comedy Unit for BBC Scotland. Kiernan and Hemphill also star alongside Karen Dunbar, Paul Riley and Mark Cox. Chewin' the Fat began as a radio series on BBC Radio Scotland. The later television show, which ran for four series, was first broadcast on BBC One. Though the final series ended in February 2002, a Hogmanay special was broadcast every New Year's Eve between 2000 and 2005. Kiernan and Hemphill later adapted two of their Chewin' the Fat characters, Jack and Victor, into the acclaimed sitcom Still Game. The series' name derives from the idiom to chew the fat, meaning to chat casually but thoroughly about subjects of mutual interest.
