Episode Quotes
Saffie: [to Eddy] You've been getting ready for three hours and you still look like a bloated citrus fruit.
Saffie: Look, mum. All you've got to do is eat less and take a bit of exercise.
Eddie: Sweetie, if it was that easy, everyone would be doing it. Anyway, I don't know what you mean. I do take exercise!
Saffie: You get out of bed, it ends there.
Eddie: I know what I'll do, I'll wait 'til Patsy gets here and phone her doctor. He'll do anything. And if that doesn't work, darling. I'm gonna go down to that Chinese clinic...

Saffie: Was I? By whom? You told me your milk dried up, your tubes blocked and your nipples dropped off.
Eddie: Well... Well, they did, they did!
Saffie: So who was I breast-fed by? Not one of the many saggy-tittied hippies who lived with us at the time, I hope.
Eddie: Darling, it was a commune. That was the point. Anyway, sweetie, I mean, they gave you a good start in life, didn't they? I mean, you're alright, aren't you? Sweetie, you're alright, aren't you?
Saffie: How many? Which ones?
Eddie: It doesn't matter, they've all died of overdoses since. I mean it doesn't matter. Anyway... Anyway, sweetie, can I just say that at least you're not fat like me.

Mistakes/Goofs
- Goof (continuity error): Edina drops her clothes on the floor and walks to throw up some food. When she walks off camera, it can be seen that she still has pants on.
- Goof (continuity error): When Edina goes for a run, her necklace is hanging behind her, the camera then switches and shows her from the front, and her necklace is the right way round.
Trivia
- Episode #1.02 "Fat" was originally meant to be aired as the fourth episode, however on the advice of Dawn French it was bumped up as the second episode.
- The super-enlarged lips in Eddie's dream sequence in episode #1.02 "Fat" were created by the same crew who devised the puppets in the TV series Spitting Image (UK).
- The cap she is wearing during the jogging scenes is for the Minnesota Vikings, an American Football club.
