Most people treat 'man boobs' with derision putting them down to an excess of beer and kebabs. But for some men they're nothing to do with diet or fitness but the result of a little known medical condition, Gynaecomastia, in which men develop breast tissue just like a woman's. And because it's not a well-publicised condition, in a world increasingly obsessed with body image, the men who develop Gynaecomastia are deeply traumatised by the excruciating humiliation they feel about having real breasts. This film meets several sufferers to discover how they deal with their condition. Gecko Productions for BBC3
