F*** Off, I'm Ginger

F*** Off, I'm Ginger was a BBC Three documentary about the body image and contrasting stereotypes surrounding ginger hair. It aired on 29 April 2007 as part of BBC's Body Image series including F*** Off, I'm Fat and F*** Off, I'm a Hairy Woman. It was presented by ginger haired comedian Dan Wright, and followed his attempts to get a date with any woman despite his hair colour. Wright's comedy partner Stephen Marsh also appeared. The documentary is about the life of a ginger haired person and how hard they, especially men, have it amongst the world around them. It aims to persuade people who discriminate against ginger hair to change their ways and respect ginger haired people just like any other person. It contained interviews with ginger haired actors Charlie Clements, in which he spoke about becoming typecast as a ginger actor, and about Bradley's portrayal as a geek in the show and Jennie McAlpine, who said she had never been bullied for being ginger. Several members of the public were also interviewed, including a redheaded man who had taken to dying his hair blond to avoid abuse and another ginger who moved to the United States to avoid what he considered discrimination in the UK.
