www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18770328Input your gender, age, height and weight and find out your position. I am slightly relieved but mostly unnerved to find out I have an estimated BMI of 19, lower than 98% of men in my age range in Britain and 87% of men in my age range on Earth. According to the readout, I'm most like someone from Eritrea, the most underweight country on Earth. I am also below average for Eritrea, but they are at the bottom of the scale. Hmm. *opens a jumbo bag of Doritos* -Nick

Nick, when I last had a check-up at work I was told the recommended range was 18.5 to 24.9, so you're OK. I'm a 21, "most like someone from DR Congo". I must say, I like being told that if everyone in the world had the same BMI as me, it would remove 35,470,672 tonnes fromthe total weight of the world's population. Martin

Hmm. I am a 22bmi apparently. Similar to someone from Kenya. Apparently closer to my designed operational take-off weight than I thought. Still, if I can shave a pound or two in the near future I will feel a little bit happier.

Comforting to know I'm in the safe zone, certainly. 10 years ago I was the same height but 20lbs lighter. Inputting those numbers would probably have set off some kind of alarm at Television Centre and they'd have sent someone round to my house with a pie.

Hmmmm. I have no scales so made up my weight according to wish fulfilment. Thus, my BMI is amazing!

Put on a spare tire in the year plus of lockdown, alas. Had to go up a size in trousers and shirts are a bit tight!

Are you turning green as well?

Awww, I was looking forward to a rampaging Hulk-Doc'. With Martin as General whatshisname battling you, you smashing up his armoured vehicles, etc. Journalist Pinwig befriending you and trying to explain to the world you're not a menace as scientist M is trying to create an antidote... OR IS HE?
