The diets that time forgot

This program looks at the different types of diets used in the Victorian era and some of their beneficial affects. The program involves nine dieters who have agreed to trying the weird and wonderful eating regimes used by our ancestors - under the watchful eye of historian Sir Roy Strong.
It was interesting to see how different approaches to what we eat, how we eat and what we pass out all affects our weight control which seemed to be the under-pinning factor of the program.

As some-one who has used colonic irrigation I found it fascinating that this was even used by the late queen victoria.
