Director Richard Macer spends 6 months with glamour model Jordan, following her through photo shoots, nights out and even announcing her pregnancy and have her house robbed and her car stolen. We learn more about the personality behind the breasts.
This may be more channel 5 than BBC, but this is a BBC choice production and manages to avoid going down the route of staring at her breasts the whole time. She does `get them out' during photo shoots etc but really the camera only happens upon her assets by accident rather than on purpose. Instead we are allowed to delve into her character - an opportunity that risks being dull and empty.
But despite her appearance as nothing more than a pair of breasts, she is actually quite normal. She is prone to the same things as normal people - she gets moody, she gets drunk, she has problems with lovers and men generally etc. The things that go in are interesting but how she deals with them is better - she comes across as very vulnerable and erratic. Her attitude towards men seemed shaped by her dad leaving when she was young - and indeed she seems to like the attention she gets, but also to regard men as unreliable and untrustworthy.
Jordan comes across as real - if not likeable or to everyone's taste. To me she was a bit too much of a lad-ette, too loud and drunken to be likeable, but she is who she is. She doesn't seem to have a Max Clifford in the background coordinating her image or how she appears in the media. This makes her open to false stories etc but also makes her refreshingly real (despite the obvious fake bits to her!).
Overall, this may be slightly away from the BBC's remit but it could have been trashy and boob focused. Luckily in proper hands it comes off as a good documentary that gets under the skin of it's subject. The subject may not be to everyone's taste but it's done in good taste and is a lot better than it could have been.
