BBC One - Secrets for Sale

Documentary following the reporters at Real People magazine as they speak to contributors.

With unique warts-and-all access to Real People magazine, this sometimes poignant and funny documentary follows the magazine's team of reporters as they speak to its contributors.

Beryl was paralysed by a tropical worm. Maureen was poisoned by her husband. Sarah's orgasm caused a massive brain haemorrhage.

With unique warts-and-all access to Real People magazine, this sometimes poignant and funny documentary follows the magazine's small team of reporters as they hit the road and dig deep into their contributors' most intimate and harrowing experiences, and asks why people feel the need to lay bare their personal pain and tragedy to 216,000 readers. 

And once they see their stories in print, do they have any regrets about selling and telling all?
