Forty-year-old American father of four Kenneth Brumley weighed 73 stone when he was cut free from his house. Even bigger than Half Ton Mum, Renee, from the Bodyshock documentary of that name, Kenneth's last chance was to undergo the same weight-loss surgery that she had. Sadly, it did not work for Renee - would things be more successful for Kenneth? Half Ton Dad is the story of a father, his family and a country which currently has 15 million morbidly obese citizens.
