    I didn't catch it all but I really felt it was explotative rather than informative. Did they ever explain how he could afford all the food?

    totally exploitative. at the end he said "I know I have a problem and I'm working on getting better" - no evidence that he was though, no sign of dieting or exercise and he'd just eaten an enormous curry.

    It's a Sky One "documentary" after all. They generally aren't all that informative.

    Pretty much sums it up. Every Sky One documentary I've seen so far has been awful, exploitation, misinformation, personal opinions* and scare mongering ("How not to die!").


    * eg the Posh and Becks "documentary". Did anyone see that? The interviewer spent the whole time talking about how great they really are, and how smart Posh seemed to her, and how everyone is out to get them.

    yeah I saw him on Richard and Judy too. How could anyone get that fat?! He ate 9 curries for dinner!! I'd say ditch the carbs and pick up the salads!

    This is on again now. I can barely stand to look at him. He's hideous. Richard Hammond that is.

    Richard Hammond should stick with Top Gear

    the idea of the show wqas fine but the wrong presenter and the space ship flying around yer mans body was ridiculous

    wonderful toilet action. push billy, push

    I really think I learnt alot from the one abot Fart Gas, the Wick Effect, and spontaneous human combustion. Most educational.

    Ah yes, I watched the Spontaneous Human Combustion thing, with Bruce Dickenson. It was OK, but nothing new. The pig experiment had been done before on a previous documentary on the same phenomenon.
