Miss Fat & Beautiful! Lovely & Plump! Britain’s Most Glamorous Fatty! The British Fat Lady Contest from the 1960s doesn’t hold back at all! This newsreel looks at the facts as British women seem to be increasingly overweight during the 1960s – perhaps as a result of the introduction of fast foods, supermarkets and consumerism?

BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
