Calendar Girls: 10 Years On

On the surface, it was a very British story: eleven members of the local Women's Institute, a prim and proper local ladies' club, decided to raise money for a cancer charity by shooting their traditional calendar in a very untraditional way. Behind the usual baked goods, the apple pressing and the flower arrangements were the eleven women - completely nude.

The calendar became a global phenomenon, raising millions of pounds for Leukaemia Research, inspiring a Hollywood film and a record-breaking West End stage show, and taking the women on a rollercoaster adventure that would change their lives forever. But the success of their story is tinged with upset for all the women; Angela Baker's husband John died of non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and inspired the original calendar.

A decade on, and after an emotional split tore the original team in half, six of the Calendar Girls are reuniting to strip for the cameras one final time, baring all for charity once more. They joke that they'll need bigger props to pose behind, but little else has changed for the ladies of Rylstone and District WI. This is the story of how a group of normal middle aged women from the Yorkshire Dales united in the face of grief, inspired the world and changed the reputation of the WI forever.
