I hated the first episode of Supersize -v- Superskinny and thought that it was a lot of old tosh. I thought it was made even worse by the inclusion of that old favourite of mine, Gillian McKeith...but it could be interestng to try and catch the programme tonight (8pm - Channel 4)
Each episode features a medically supervised (and pretty pointless) diet swap between a superskinny undereater and an overweight overeater, and this week's undereater is Jeanette Nolan from Burnley, Lancashire who, at just six stone and eight lbs, is two stone underweight and refuses to marry her husband until she can fill her wedding dress.
What makes it any better/different tha any of the previous programmes? Well, this episode has a bit of a twist to it - belive it or not it's skinny Jeanette who lives on high-fat junk food, although not a lot of it, while Rosemarie is the good food gourmet – eating healthy food and just overeating it.
The show should also put you off diets, if you record it and fast forward through the bits where Gillian McKeith talks out of her bony arse, journalist Anna Richardson interviews a woman suffering from partial blindness after she dieted!
