Graham Pitscottie dreams of becoming a presenter on Blue Peter. However, he is stuck replenishing the pick 'n' mix at Woolworths.
By his own admission he is, "a bit of a fatso", and because there are no fat Blue Peter presenters, he joins - on the assistance of his mother Soo - a slimming class run by Wendy Bottomley. However, Wendy has not admitted to her husband Clive that she is running a class.
