Script first draft
Dr. Alan is talking to the camera outside Dudley's house
Dr. Alan- Welcome to the crazy eating habits of the UK- the show where we meet people who are seeking help to change their dangerous diets. This week, we travel to Cambridge to meet Dudley, a man who only eats food the colour yellow and hasn't eaten a vegetable in over 10 years.
Dudley and Chris are sat on a sofa talking to the camera
Dudley- It all started when I was a kid really. My Dad used to make me eat broccoli, sprouts, spinach etc. with every meal but one time I vomited so much that it just scarred me to be honest. I found comfort just eating crisps and chips all day and now that's what I love to eat.
Chris- Yeah I'm really worried for Dudley, I know that this isn't normal and I know it's dangerous for him. Me and the boys will go out and if we go kebab van or something Dudley will just get loads and loads of chips. No meat no salad nothing.
Dudley- It's not just crisps and chips I love no- I like cheese too. Lots and lots of cheese. Actually I put cheese on almost everything.

Jimmy is sat on a sofa talking to the camera
Jimmy- I guess I do blame myself a bit. When Dudley's mum left us I sort of gave up on cooking proper food. I did try and get him to eat vegetables and everything but one time he just started throwing up everywhere and said he was never going to eat them again. I should have put my foot down, but I sort of just let him eat what he wanted and now we're in this situation where I'm really worried for his health.

Dudley walks back into his house.
Dudley- It's been like this for years and I'm still fine so I don't really think there's anything wrong with me.
Dr. Alan walks up to him
Dr.Alan- That's where you're wrong Dudley. I'm Dr. Alan and your closest friends and family have asked me to come and help you out.
Cut to Dr. Alan and Dudley at a table with all of Dudley's favourite foods on it. Dr. Alan picks up a block of cheese.
Dr. Alan- While cheese is a good source of calcium, and a nice side or topping to go with pizza etc. It can also be high in calories, sodium, and saturated fat. A high intake of saturated fat can increase the risk of diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular problems. The bottom line is that with your daily intake of cheese, it's a recipe for disaster.
Dr. Alan picks up a bag of crisps.
Dr. Alan- Crisps are high in fat and calories, which can raise the risk of weight gain and obesity. The sodium content of crisps can lead to a higher risk of increased blood pressure which can lead to stroke, heart failure, coronary heart disease and kidney disease.
Dudley looks even more shocked.
Dr. Alan- And the same goes for these chips, and this bread is hardly high in nutritional value. How does this make you feel Dudley?
Dudley- I get what you're saying but I don't care! I know what I like and that's what I'm gonna have, it's my choice and why should I listen to you? I just met you.
Dr. Alan- OK don't listen to me, but maybe you should listen to them...
Chris and Jimmy walk in.
Chris- Come on Dudley. We just need you healthy. We don't want you to die an early death.
Jimmy- Since your mum left, you're all I've really got left, I need you around son.
Dr. Alan- See, now come and try something I've prepared for you.
Dr. Alan comes back with a proper meal with vegetables and meat etc.
Dr. Alan- Come on give this a try
Dudley reluctantly eats some.
Dr. Alan- Feel like vomiting?
Dudley- No, to be honest this is actually quite good.
Dudley eats more
Dudley- This is actually good, maybe it was just your cooking all along Dad.
Jimmy- Shut up.
Cuts to end titles saying Dudley is now eating properly and is over his crazy habit.
Dr. Alan- Next week, we'll be visiting Norbert in Scotland who has an addiction to drinking paint.
The end.
