The series focused on the human body, its functions, and how it interacts with the world around it.  It would normally take a lighthearted and humorous approach to its subject matter. The show utilized a studio audience, who were often brought on camera to help the hosts with their demonstrations. It would include guests who were related to the subject being discussed for interviews or demonstrations, as well as oversized studio models to help visualize the topics. One such model, a mechanical eye constructed for the show's first episode, would end up being repurposed as the Dalek Emperor for Doctor Who's Remembrance of the Daleks 3 years later.

Status: Partially Found


Bodymatters was a BBC medical show hosted by medical professionals Alan Maryon-Davis and Gillan Rice, as well as actor Graeme Garden. It aired for five seasons and 38 episodes from 1985 to 1989[1].

The series focused on the human body, its functions, and how it interacts with the world around it. It would normally take a lighthearted and humorous approach to its subject matter. The show utilized a studio audience, who were often brought on camera to help the hosts with their demonstrations. It would include guests who were related to the subject being discussed for interviews or demonstrations, as well as oversized studio models to help visualize the topics. One such model, a mechanical eye constructed for the show's first episode, would end up being repurposed as the Dalek Emperor for Doctor Who's Remembrance of the Daleks in 1988.

In its final season, the show became BodyMatters Roadshow. Hosted by Maggie Philbin, it would visit and focus on different medical institutions in the U.K., such as The Bristol Veterinary School and The National Spinal Injuries Centre in Stoke Mandeville.

The British Film Institute currently has 3 episodes of the original Bodymatters[2]. However, these episodes have not been made available to the public. Several additional episodes, as well as some small clips, are currently on YouTube.
