UK -- Just when you thought you'd seen it all before, along comes a programme that succeeds in opening your jaded eyes to a previously unimaginable world.
It had never crossed my mind that there might be people outside of Japan with a desire to compete professionally at sumo wrestling. And it had certainly never occurred to me that some of those people might be women. British women at that, the sort of careworn, mountainous souls you sometimes see pushing over-stocked shopping trolleys round the aisles of Asda.
The ordinary women in this documentary saw sumo as a way of empowering themselves, to prove to the world that they are more than mere couch potatoes.
