The documentary that I decided to watch last night was supersize Vs super skinny, this programme is shown on channel 4 weekly at 8.00pm. The documentary looks into two different individuals who are two extreme eaters. One is extremely overweight and the other is very underweight, both them swap their diets to try and change their eating habits and to change their view on food. Each episode there are two different individuals with their own reasons for why they are the way they are, within the show there is normally some kind of ‘sob’ story to why they are like it and why they want to change. The show is presented by Dr Christian Jesson who is also known to the world as being a health fanatic. At the end of each show the two extreme eaters are given six weeks to see if they can stick to the healthy diet. They then come back and each time they have suggested. I think this show is help to people who are maybe going through one of the situations that either of the individuals are going through. The show is also family orientated and I feel that parents would allow their children to watch the show because it shows the effect of what unhealthy eating can do. There are number of VTs shown in each episode to see the individuals home and to see what they eat each day.
Dr Christian is also known for presenting other documentaries series such as ‘embarrassing bodies’ and I believe that they would have the same researchers for each show. The researchers for each of these shows would have to get to know each of the individuals that are going to participate to see if they actually want to be helped. The researcher would have to make sure that the individual is the right person and would have to make sure that they are 100 per cent happy and if they need anything they would help them with it. They would make sure that both of the participants that are going to be shown on each episode are the complete opposite to the other; this is because they want to shock the audience at their first meeting. The researcher would also go back to the individual’s family home and see what life is like back home.
