Big Fat Gypsy Wedding
Big Fat Gypsy Weddings offers a visually arresting insight into the lives of gypsies and travellers living in Britain today.
From the strict rules of courtship governing gypsy relationships; to the epic preparations for gypsy and traveller weddings, this series goes beneath the skin of the much-maligned but little-understood community to paint a fascinating picture of the modern gypsy way of life.
Released due to popular demand, the new DVD offers the chance to see those shocking moment that drew so many viewers first time around.
From a 14-stone, light-up wedding dress (complete with moving butterflies) to spray tans for 6 year olds; and from bare-knuckle fights to the controversial 'grabbing' tradition, Big Fat Gypsy Weddings provides an insight into a world never-before documented on British TV.
Aside from the blingtastic nuptials that inspire the title, Big Fat Gypsy Weddings goes deeper; examining the prejudices that this community faces.
Documented throughout the series, we learn that discrimination is nothing new to the traveller community and that their secretive seclusion from mainstream society may be their only form of defence.
Big Fat Gypsy Wedding is released 18th April.
