I saw a clip of this programme on Harry Hill's TV Burp, for TV Highlight of the Year, with Britain's Tallest Man getting out of a car, and when I watched the repeat it was quite interesting. Basically this documentary, narrated by Sam Hazeldine, focused on some of the world's tallest people, whether in Britain, America or other countries (in this case China), and how they cope, make a living from and some suffer in their life of being taller than the average man/woman. The people focused are Britain's tallest man (mainly because of a tumour and growth disorder), Chris Greener, who had kept the record from the 1970's - 2007 (you also meet his agent, short man Peter Burroughs); the man who beat him, Neil Fingleton (who is two inches taller) hoping to get work in films (with the help of Hollywood agent Sheila Manning); supermarket worker Ross Sambridge who is unfortunate to have a bent spine (from bending down so much), so can't be measured properly; one of America's tallest living women, Alana Renaud, who is getting ready for a wedding in year; the world's ex-tallest living man in the world, China's Xishun Bao; and the man who beat him, the Ukraine's Leonid Stadnyk. Very good!
