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 can squeeze 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 highpressure 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 down on the farm.

Berwick-upon- Tweed, Northumberland
The local sandstone in this most northerly of English towns is rather sombre and there are few really distinguished buildings. But the Elizabethan ramparts are of European significance, the Vanbrughian Barracks are the earliest in Britain, and Robert Stephenson 's Border Bridge is one of the glories of the railway age. More recently, there has been excellent restoration of near-derelict houses but some of the craftsmanship leaves a lot to be desired: 'Even the carved lions on the gate piers,' says
Alec Clifton-Taylor , 'seem perplexed.'
