Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast: on BBC Two EnglandLatest broadcast: on BBC One London

Stefan Gates journeys to two very different places united by the fact that what the people are eating there could very well kill them.

In Chernobyl, armed with a Geiger counter, Stefan meets some of the locals who defied the authorities and moved back home to one of the world’s most radioactive places. Will Stefan ignore health and safety advice and tuck into a potentially radioactive dinner?

Stefan then travels to the beautiful Pacific island of Tonga where he discovers a dark side to this paradise; the people here are now the fattest on the planet. They have grown so fat that their very lives are now at risk. Show less
