Channel 4, in common with the other main British stations, airs a highly comprehensive range of programming. It was established in 1982 with a specific intention of providing programming to groups of minority interests, not catered for by its competitors, which at the time amounted to only the BBC and ITV.

Season Premiere

2003x01 Fat Girls and Feeders

  • 2003-03-27T20:00:00Z45m

For many men big has always meant beautiful. Most simply take pleasure from an amply curved woman, and a host of specialist clubs and internet sites cater to the tastes of Fat Admirers. But a bizarre sub-culture is taking things to dangerous extremes. So-called Feeders are accused of behaviour that crosses the boundary from consent to abuse. These men aren't satisfied with a merely big partner, but encourage and even coerce them to gain weight to the point where the women become immobile and risk their lives. Fat Girls and Feeders features interviews with men and women for whom feeding has become an obsession.

2003x09 Who Got Diana Dors' Millions

  • 2003-08-13T19:00:00Z45m

Diana Dors was adored by the British public. A star of the silver screen for nearly forty years, the woman once dubbed the 'English Marilyn Monroe' was a larger than life character who seemed to have it all – fame, riches, beauty.

When she died in 1984 her estate was worth only £200,000, a seemingly small sum for someone who had been successful for so long, yet her eldest son, Mark Dawson, had reason to believe that there was a lot more money to be found. 18 months before her death, Diana had given her son an envelope containing a sheet of code. A code that she said would lead Dawson to a sum of £2,000,000 that she had hidden away in bank accounts and safety deposit boxes across Britain.

Diana Dors also told her son that her third husband, Alan Lake, had the key to the code but when he committed suicide just five months after Dors died, it looked as though the location of her millions would be lost for good.

Only now, 20 years later, has Mark Dawson begun to unravel the mystery of his mother�s secret fortune but, as he travels from his Los Angeles home to the UK, will he be able to crack the code and find out where the money lies?

2003x10 Kidneys For Jesus

  • 2003-01-25T20:00:00Z45m

The Jesus Christians are unusually committed to their faith. They give up everything they own - including, now, their spare kidneys. For the past year, journalist Jon Ronson has exclusively followed the group as they attempt to donate their kidneys to strangers in the UK and the US. But who should they give them to? Where can they advertise? Will the hospitals, the media, and the potential recipients see their gesture as a miracle, or as the self-destructive act of a controversial religious movement?
