Diets that Time Forgot

In a last ditch attempt to get the dieters to embrace personal discipline, the army's been called in. The term 'keep fit' originally meant 'fit for military purpose', from which all exercise routines originate.

For the men there are military training exercises. For the women, a work-out with the Women's League of Health and Beauty.

By imposing military rule, Sir Roy hopes the residents will learn to value self discipline and collective responsibility. Not everyone's happy, but Dave Jordan shows signs of improvement and Vaughan and Sophie both rise to the challenge.
