BBC documentary on bodybuilding

[CelticMuscle]

http://npabodybuilding.co.uk/ is a British based natural bodybuilding federation who enter the UIBNN (Union Internationale de Bodybuilding Naturel / International Union of Natural Bodybuilding) World Championships.

The following is a copy of an e-mail that was sent to me by the wife of the founder of the NPA

I am sure a lot of you will be aware that there was a BBC team who travelled to Madrid with us for the recent UIBBN World Championships last week, and here's the details of when the film will be shown!

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 14th at 7.30pm - 'INSIDE OUT' - on BBC1

Don't miss it! The film was made by Nicola Rees, James the cameraman, and fronted by World Champion boxer Johnny Nelson.
It follows in particular Ian Duckett and Jenny Garside as they prepare to compete in the UIBBN Worlds, in their last ever competition! Jenny and Ian were filmed training and at home, with Jenny also filmed winning the NPA Britain title, and Ian doing his sensational guest spot there!

Also featured will be our other great Champions, the following were all interviewed outside the venue in Madrid - Delroy Galloway, Lloyd Stewart, Denton Wilson, Ian, Jenny, and UK Muscle's very own John Heaton.
Won't it be great to see the sport featured as it should be! Johnny Nelson was great to talk to at the Britain and in Madrid, and being from Sheffield knows Delroy, Denton, and especially Big Llloyd.

I think everyone in Sheffield knows Lloyd! It was a fascinating experience having Nicola, James, and Johnny with us - they couldn't have been more friendly. Johnny said some great words to the camera praising the team, and spoke with great respect and admiration for them all.

I will certainly be recording the programme and will try and find out a way to ensure that as many people who want to see it can.

Very good indeed actually. One of the rare news programmes (although it was a reportage rather than a news report) that actually puts bodybuilding in a good light. It mentioned a 52 year old winning the master's class in the UK and because the NPA has a name and shame policy (if you are found to have a positive drug test, the NPA name you and ban you for ever), it might just encourage people to realise that bodybuilding and drugs are not always connected.
