Victoria Wood's Big Fat Documentary
New Series starts Friday 9th January,
8.30pm BBC1
Victoria Wood's new documentary series promises to be lively
and contentious as well as giving us all a chance to laugh at
the Big Fat subject.
Billed as a personal and honest take on the dieting industry,
the Big Fat Documentary follows Victoria's investigation into
media pressure, fat acceptance, slimming products, diet fads and
the history of the ideal body shape.
On Victoria's amusing journey she attempts to answer such
questions as: why is it hard to lose weight? Why are slimming
clubs in such horrible halls? Why have we become a nation of
overeaters?
"I've started enough diets in my life to understand that buzz
you get from weighing out a quarter cup of muesli, four ounces
of skimmed milk and a dried apricot," she says. "But I'm hugely
entertained by the madness of it all."
Helping Victoria along the way are exercise gurus, dieting
experts and a smattering of celebrities including the Duchess of
York, Vanessa Feltz and Anne Robinson.
We'll be watching!
