Walking On The Box Tonight

A quick heads-up for a new Channel 4 three-parter starting tonight, Monday November 6, and called 'Too Big To Walk?'

It's a reality documentary covering the attempt by eight seriously obese people - four men and four women - to lose weight and get fit by trekking 500 miles from the south coast of England to Edinburgh.

There's a Channel 4 microsite devoted to the programme at www.channel4.com with an emphasis on health and obesity, but also with short profiles of the walkers themselves and a strange voting page where you can select the walker who you think will be 'the most successful walker'.

Rather annoyingly the microsite doesn't give start times for the programme, but we can reveal that the first one-hour programme starts at 21:00 and is on Channel 4 with the next installments at the same time on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

Looks like interesting viewing.
