I was looking at the listings and I found that BBC1 are showing a documentary on going bald.

Gail Porter Laid Bare
It took just four weeks last summer for all of Gail Porter's hair to fall out. At 34, the chirpy TV presenter, whose naked image was once famously projected onto the Houses of Parliament, had to face up to the probability that she'd never have hair again. This moving documentary follows her as she learns to cope with being a bald woman. Sometimes she can laugh about the alopecia, joking to the camera that she's having "a bad hair day". But when a specialist tells her that her hair is unlikely to ever grow back, the jaunty façade crumbles and the tears come. Despite her understandable horror at going bald, Gail has always refused to wear a wig or cover her head with a hat. But she bridles at the suggestion that she's brave to do so. "My confidence comes from inside me.... if I'm not confident inside me, nothing that I pop on my head is going to make me feel any different," she says firmly.
