Title: How The Mighty Have Fallen
Description: Four-part series in which Dr Hilary Jones explores the
history of obesity. 2: Hilary investigates how corpulence
has been portrayed throughout history in art, music and
books. Obese stereotypes often reveal social attitudes of
the day. In literature, they include Shakespeare's Falstaff,
Dickens's 'Fat Boy', Joe, and Frank Richards's Billy Bunter.
In art, some of the earliest sculptures in existence are
small prehistoric statuettes of naked, obese 'Venuses'.
Cartoons of corpulence were used for satirical effect in the
prints of Hogarth and Gillray, and for bawdy humour in
seaside postcards. The programme features readings, archive
clips and a visit to Tate Britain's Rude Britannia
exhibition. Contributors include Dr Fiona Haslam, a writer
on Hogarth, Prof Stephan Rossner of the Karolinska Institute
in Sweden, and Billy Bunter expert Dr Peter McCall
