Curator’s notes
Presenter, writer and co-producer Rachael Oakes-Ash along with director and co-producer Anna Bateman have made what could have been another dull program on dieting into a pacy, amusing television show. Oakes-Ash makes a great interviewer, getting fast, entertaining and interesting responses, and the director’s choice of locations and camera angles adds to the interest.
