It’s something anthropologists will no doubt look at with bewilderment in years to come: the extraordinary breadth of TV shows that were aired during the 00s. From Fat Families to How To Look Good Naked, we’re not sure there was anything more ruthless than the presenter of a show commissioned by Channel 4 between the years of 2001 and 2010.

From the endless stream of TV shows capitalising on the nation’s almost hysterical fatphobia, to the background hum of misogyny that had weaved its way into every conversation broadcasted at the time, this was a truly WILD time to have eyes, ears, or a television license. In this week’s episode - we’re taking a look at the role television has played, and still plays, in our collective body image.
