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, annually, there has been a 'Hogmanay Special' shown on New Year's Eve and regular repeats of the series are shown throughout the year. On 18 November 2006, it was announced that 'Chewin' the Fat' would not be shown at Hogmanay 2006, instead a Hogmanay special of 'Still Game' will appear. This signals that the show may now have officially ended.
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.
The series was mostly filmed in and around Glasgow and occasionally West Dunbartonshire.
