Synopsis
Peter Allen and Anita Anand with reaction to the announcement of a new generation of nuclear reactors for England and Wales. Plus reports on Gordon Brown's letter to the mother of a serviceman killed in Afghanistan and Jack Straw's proposed review to the way police issue cautions.
And, a look at the culture of airbrushing in magazines and advertising.
An airbrushed Peter Allen. Spot the differences
What they've changed about Peter
Matthew Jones, from the University of Derby, who "airbrushed" Peter said the changes are:
- Reshaped body
- Longer legs
- Thinner waist
- Broader shoulders
- Reshaped head
- Squarer/tighter jaw
- Retouched face
- Reduced wrinkles
- Removal of redness from the eyes
- Reduction of bags under the eyes
- Darkening of the hair and a little less grey
"I've been relatively subtle with this, hopefully hiding the retouching effects to those who haven't seen the original image."
