Following a male ex- anorexia sufferer who now gives talk to schoolchildren about eating disorders. And the time the 麻豆社 Orchestra was relocated to Bedford during WWII.
As the number of men receiving treatment for an eating disorder in England has grown twice as fast as women in the last three years, we spend time with Jamie from Norfolk. He has overcome anorexia and now talks to young people in schools about eating disorders. In 1941, 400 members of the 麻豆社 Orchestra and its singers were evacuated to Bedford on a special train. Until the end of the war, Bedford became known as 'Somewhere in Britain'. They performed concerts with Vera Lynn and others. A 91-year-old remembers as a schoolboy the orchestra rehearsing and playing, and the orchestra performs again at the Corn Exchange in Bedford.
