Can ANYONE remember this TV documentary?

This has been driving me nuts for a lot longer than I care to admit...

Back in the 90s there was a documentary (I believe on ITV) that was about supermodels ... it even had Jools Oliver on it as an aspiring model going to castings...

I cannot remember what it was called and although it had LOADS of supermodels on it, no where on their IMBDs does it list the name...

Help please ...

I remember one that was kind of a fly on the wall but also competition between the aspiring models. They all lived in the same apartment/house. But I think it was early noughties. Could it be the same one?

There was one I remember from late 90s and Vernon Kaye was featured as a model on it. I think it was about the agency itself.

Apparently the one I'm thinking of was called babewatch which rings no bells at all.

This one I remember they went to a school in Russia and literally picked girls who they thought were 'modelesque' ....

It was definitely the 90s, it had Christy Turlington, Claudia Schiffer, Eva Longoria (when she was the wonderbra model), Linda Evangelista, Tania Court, Erin O'Connor and loads of wannabe models are trying out ...

There's something very vaguely at the back of my mind. Was there a girl with braces they we're rhapsodising over because she had braces that gave her a very pouty look?

If I remember rightly it made me quite uncomfortable because they were all rather young and desperate.

I think I remember this one now! were they brought back from Russia to live in London, some of them were really young, and they were sent to castings and had to find their way around on their own?

Was it Catwalk? m.imdb.com/title/tt0112646/

I don't remember it, but it sounds great!

spagbolsandwich · 26/05/2020 16:14

I thought it was catwalk and I looked at that last night on YT and it wasn't ...
So disappointed..

I remember it too. I think the girls were from Siberia mostly.

The Model Agency looks great. It's only from 2011 though; is there another one from the 90s?
