A Forty Minutes documentary
The wealthy Hendon housewife who has to lose weight so that she can have her eyes lifted; an ex-WRAF officer in a last-ditch bid to shed six pounds so that she canoqueeze into her wedding dress; a professional gambler, too heavy for the scales, who has to be taken to the weighbridge of the local quarry for his weigh-in-these are three of the inmates of Henlow Grange with everything to lose and nothing to gain. After a week of hot wax baths, the high pressure hydro, and the infamous G5 (known in the trade as the 'Black and Decker') — the trio, along with 30 others booked in for the week, can assess whether the creation of a new slim svelte self was worth all that had to be endured.

Making the News
This year the papers have had a bad press. Buckingham Palace accused them of invading Royal privacy. The Prime Minister questioned their honesty and accuracy: 'Are facts as sacred as comment is free?'
Brass Tacks discovered what happened to the ordinary people who made the headlines in the week the Queen told Fleet Street to back off. What was it really like for the family of Cruise mole Sarah Tisdall and the parents of the Walton sextuplets when they suddenly found journalists at their door?
David Henshaw reports from the front line of the circulation war, following the journalists of The Daily Star as they chase stories and dead-lines. Star editor Lloyd Turner found out what it was like to be on the other end of a story - and in a unique experiment got the chance to show how differently he would have edited his own interview.
