Mark asks why it is so hard to get to the bottom of what makes people look and feel good.

Mark asks why it’s so hard to get to the bottom of what makes people look and feel good. With Tim Key and Tom Basden. From 2014.

Multi-award winning comic Mark Watson attempts to answer the big questions and make sense of life.

He's assisted by Tim Key and Tom Basden.

This time, Mark investigates "Health & Beauty". 

Our world is full of people telling us how to be healthier and more attractive. 

But how can we tell if we are well, both mentally and physically? Does living more healthily lead to better mental health, or not so much because you have to eat stuff like cabbage and you wish you were dead? 

At the same time many people claim to be beautiful, but does beauty really matter or is it, as the popular saying goes, in the eye of the beholder?

Why is it so hard to get to the bottom of what will make us look and feel good, and will this eternal quest ever end?

Written and performed by Mark Watson.

Producer: Lianne Coop

An Impatient production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in October 2014.
