Supersized: 60 Stone & House Trapped: Big Body Squad

Series 1, episode 2

The documentary exploring obesity from several different perspectives focuses on people who are so overweight that they are effectively house-bound. They include Carl Thompson, who doubled from 30 stone to 65 stone over three years as he gorged on 10,000 calories a day, making him Britain's fattest man - but ended up paying the ultimate price for his obesity. Others featured include 36-stone Irishman Ritchie Doyle, whose health is deteriorating by the day, and American Thomas Ammons, who weighs more than 40 stone and has a body mass index of 83 - more than three times the healthy figure
