ITV to examine weirdest phobias
Published Sunday, Mar 26 2006, 02:24 BST | By Neil Wilkes
ITV has commissioned a new documentary looking at some of the UK's most eccentric and unusual phobias.
Phobia Britian, a one hour programme from Oxford indie Landmark Films, will air as part of the broadcaster's Scared To Death season later this year.
The show will take a "sympathetic snapshot" of the lives of the unfortunate sufferers and will follow a handful as they undertake therapy in an attempt to cure themselves.
Alison Sharman, ITV's director of factual and daytime, said: "Most people have an irrational fear of something, so Phobia Britain promises to be a fascinating component in our Scared To Death season of programmes exploring the theme of fear."
