much more at Sunday Mail link aboveChannel 4 could find itself at the centre of another taste row after agreeing to broadcast a documentary showing the body of a British man being mummified like an Egyptian Pharoah.
The macabre programme, called Mummifying Alan, will make television history when it airs later this month as a scientific embalming experiment is unprecedented.
Sources say the man, who had been terminally ill, was interested in preservation techniques used at the time of Tutankhamun.

A team of scientists was brought together to perform the little-known technique used by the ancient embalmers at one of the UK's leading pathology laboratories.
It is understood the body remained in excellent condition when it was examined months after the experiment.
