BBC Radio 4 is running a series on the history of Obesity. Each episode will be up on the Radio 4 archives for one week from the broadcast date. The first episode centers on early corpulent folks like Daniel Lambert and circus Fat folk. Future episodes deal with Obesity in art, music and literature, which should include Falstaff.
