After attending a recovery program, Wright and Paterson were approached by a TV producer about making a series. "Two Fat Ladies" premiered on BBC Two in 1996 and ended after Paterson's death in 1999.
What a story.

I'm surprised she was so young; there's more surprising stuff at the link. Some good, some not so good. The article is very brief, but excerpting required per the link bot.
I always enjoyed that show, though I never saw that many episodes.
I liked them.
They were kind of pioneers in world of cable TV chefs.
Noooooooooo!
RIP Clarissa.
She and Jennifer Paterson had a fun and educating show. No, they weren’t “much to look at” by our standards, but they lived and enjoyed life, by gawd. As we all should. I loved how they’d end a show at some prep school or dairy farm by drinking a martini and having a smoke.
RIP.

Sad to hear of her passing. RIP. They introduced me to bubble and squeak and loved their ‘streaky bacon’ references. A classy pair of birds.
Quintessentially British to the core which is why I loved them.
Delia Smith and Nigella couldn’t hold a candle to TFL.
One of my favorite cooking shows. I certainly will miss the lady.
I loved the fact that they seemed to operate with a: *what you see is what you get* attitude. They were pre-cursors of that most overused word *passion*. No one else could make me want to try to make Bubble and Squeak with lard!
RIP Clarissa and Jennifer...ya done good.
It's amazing she lasted that long. MEDS, I guess, for the fatties.
I saw that show a few times. It was great! RIP.
