Parental Guidance is a new TV series which observes comedienne Katherine Ryan juggling parenting and her career, and, they say, sees her investigating 'extreme' parenting techniques.
A section of Episode 4 was filmed at the Naturist Foundation's site at Brockenhurst, coinciding with their annual nude 5K run. Steve Paton, Trustee and race organiser, said:
"I am absolutely delighted with the way this documentary takes a lighthearted look at the benefits of naturism and in particular family naturism. Helen and Simon Berriman and daughter Lizzie were great ambassadors to the cause and totally at ease with Katherine Ryan. While not a naturist herself, Katherine shows a good level of respect for the naturist lifestyle with many humorous quips and insightful questions that will hopefully be useful for people who want to give naturism a go. Following the interviews the program follows Simon and Lizzie as they take part in the September naked BH5K.
The documentary crew could not have picked a more beautiful weekend to visit Brocken Hurst. We had our hottest ever September race day as 200 runners braved temperatures of up to 30 degrees! Hosepipes were on hand to spray the runners as they crossed the finish line and received their well-deserved medals. Off camera the day continued with water war games, a BBQ and plenty of celebratory drinks at the outside bar!.”
The programme will be broadcast on the UKTV ‘W’ channel next Monday 26th February at 9pm. For those who either cannot wait until Monday or miss the broadcast it can be viewed on the UKTV play app. The Naturism feature starts 25 minutes into the programme.
The next naked BH5K is being held on Sunday 19th May and is open to anyone. Simply go to Naturistfoundation.org and click on ‘Big events’
