Premieres June 1st at 10pm et/pt. Part of BBC America Reveals.

Every Sunday night at 10pm in June, BBC America presents a series of all-new documentaries that take an in-depth, honest, and often surprising look at some of the body image issues that people are struggling to overcome in their search for happiness.

Transvestite Wives looks at three transvestite relationships, as seen through the eyes of their wives and partners.

In the Scottish Highlands, Sheila discovered seven years into her marriage that her husband Dennis was a transvestite. In Newark, 20-year-old Sam, is embracing her 40-year-old partner Chris' tranny lifestyle; and in Barnsley, Robyn, who has struggled to be accepted for her weight problem, at last finds happiness with her cross-dresser husband Dean.

Thanks DonnaT,
I have pre set my Tv to record as by 10 this old gal is fast asleep, anyway this way I won't forget

Darn it... makes me wish I had cable television... but, that my dear sisters is a WANT and not a NEED One must let the needs outweigh the wants once in a while.

Hi Kandis,

You make a very good point but I live way out in nowhere and the only TV I can get is satellite. So my want is my need

Oh, believe me Carol Ann... I SO WISH I had cable.. I get so tired of only having the same 5 channels to watch with nothing worth watching on any of them. I want 296 channels with nothing worth watching on any of them. ~giggles~

I hope you girls over there enjoy the programme. This girl missed it completely when it was shown over here .I don't know why we haven't had a repeat showing they seem to repeat just about everything else 2 or 3 times in a week to fill out the schedule of our miserable 34 free channels on the haunted fish-tank!

Thanks for the info, I'll have to check it out. As for the cable programing, I find myself wondering why we are so fortunate to still be able to watch the shows that I watched when I was 4 years old. I just saw a rerun of Lucy and said to myself, I thought that it was lousy in 1950 something and it hasn't improved now, only now I have to pay to watch it. At least there is some original programing on BBC - Top Gear, Dr. Who, etc., and now this one. I suppose that in a few years they will make a reality show of it here.

Hey Carol Ann,

Is that 10 Am or 10Pm! You know how us old broads like those morning and afternoon naps!

Love you, Hon!

Kandis,

I have 210 channels and not a thing to watch. Got Spanish which I don't understand, got all those QVC channels which I don't watch. Now the truth be told I watch maybe 40 or so channels mostly the St.Louis Cardinals baseball games.

Kandis.........don't forget to go up on the DTV website and apply for the two free converter box cards. They are worth $40 each toward converter boxs that will allow you to outfit two TV's to continue receiving over the air transmissons after Feb 2009.

One of my neighbors already bought 2 of them and they only need one, so we get the other one

Virginia,

you had better be careful or it's out to woodshed with you if SL hasn't taken you there yet.

The pool sharks post said " Sunday night", now where I live that's when the sun goes down. Oh bye the way who are you calling OLD!!

I've got basic cable, so don't get the BBC America channel.

I think the only reson I'd go to digital cable is for the on-demand channel.

My plasma tv can pick up digital channels on the basic cable that are supposed to be only available on the digital cable. Including on-demand, but that's only if a neighbor orders on-demand. Some of the things they watch!

By chance, and during a period of insomnia, I watched the show at 2:00 am.

As a documentary, I think it fullfilled the function of showing how different couples dealt with the CD husband. In the three cases reviewed, the wives were sympathetic and understanding. The characters reacted, talked and looked like real people - not actors.

There was one scene in particular that I liked. The couple was approached by several teen-age girls. The girls obviously clocked the husband, and initially made disparaging remarks. The husband, however, deftly turned the encounter around to become educational, in which the girls asked rational questions, and their attitudes changed.

As a whole, the show was remarkably sensible. The couples featured were likable. There were no sly nudge-nudge, wink-winks.

Thanks for bringing it to oiur attention, Donna.

Hugs,

Lydia

Lydia,

I agree, but I didn't think it was all that well put together. We all know the stories of why, and yes I enjoyed the wifes part as I believe it was for real.

I can relate as my wife has the same problems with Carol Ann, she just excepts and will tell you it's just a part of me of who and what I am.
