Measure for Measure: Weight

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Continuing the offbeat history of measurement.

How do you lose 4 lb in one hour? Why did an eccentric 17th-century doctor spend 30 years sitting on weighing scales? What do you test with the bonking machine? Why do a teddy bear's eyes have to meet a weight limit of 20 lb? And who can solve the mystery of the incredible shrinking kilo? Actor Justin Case as Mr Measurement comes up with some well-balanced solutions. Narrated by Brian Glover.

A Windfall production for BBCtv
