The Very Merry Widow and How: How are you feeling...?

on BBC One London

by Alan Melville
Starring Moira Lister as Jacqueline Villiers
and featuring Nicholas Parsons as Francis

Three out of five Englishmen are over-weight. "How" sends Jacqui to look into the country's weight battling institutions. She soon discovers that £60 a week for a tepid glass of water and lemon rind is not really her idea of bliss.
