In a world where the lottery of nature defines your height, size and features, individuals can become celebrities based simply on how they look. Broadcaster Mark Dolan immerses himself in the remarkable worlds of some incredible people in this new series exploring what it means to be anything but “average”.

In The World’s Tallest Woman and Me Mark visits a “tall society” in Arizona, and then heads to Indianapolis to visit 7′ 7″ Sandy Allen, recognised as the world’s tallest woman. But is there another contender for the title? Mark heads to China to find out.
