Family Members

Mother

Marjorie's mother has only appeared in one episode and her name was not revealed and was only ever called Mum. She is also cruely treated by Marjorie and Marjorie is trying hard to get her into a Old Person's Home despite doctors saying she is capable of looking after herself.

Melvyn Dawes

Melvyn Dawes was married to Marjorie and they had three children, George, Pinky and Perky Dawes. They later divorced in 1997

Barbara Dawes

Barbara Dawes is Marjorie's sister, and like everyone else, Marjorie treates cruely. Baraba is a "very unhappy person", because she has 2 children, each of them from different fathers. Marjorie tells Barbara how their mother hates her and why she should be cut out their Mother's will.

Derek

Derek was Marjorie's black boyfriend who Marjorie showed off to the group. As he is a personal trainer, he gets the group to do some excersie. He partners with Tania as Tania dosn't have a partner in the excercise which makes Marjorie jealous. Marjorie then gets cross at Tania and dumps Derek. After he leaves she runs after him to apologise and he says she is "fucking nuts!".

Dieting Tips

Dust

Dust

Marjorie often recommends to Pat that she tries eating some Dust and recommends different meals with dust, such as Dustburger, Full English Dust and Pain au Dust.

Half-the-Calories

One tip for dieting invented by Marjorie is the Half-the-Calorie diet, which involves cutting something in half, which makes it half the calories. And because of it being half the calories it means you can half twice the ammount of it.

Little Britain Abroad

In Little Britain Abroad Marjorie was sent to take a FatFighters class in the USA. Like in the UK, she was very harsh to members which resulted in her arrest. Meanwhile, back in England, her normal class is taken by a Texan, Blanche (played by David Walliams). She, unlike Marjorie, is very friendly to the members. But it is revealed that Blanche is a member of the Ku Klux Klan and can't understand Meera either.

She adds the letter "y" to the end of member's names (eg. Pauly, Patty).

Vanessa

Vanessa Feltz

In an episode of Season 2, Vanessa Feltz visits Fat Fighters, after watching Marjorie insult the FatFighters members, she calls Marjorine 'a total cow' which resulted in Marjorie spitting on her face.
