The array of statistics, which includes how much the average person will eat, spend, love, shop, travel and waste, was the brainchild of Nick Watts, the programme’s producer, who came up with the idea three years ago while having a pint of beer in a pub.
He said: "I was thinking to myself how full a swimming pool would become if I tipped into it all the beer I drank in a lifetime."
Mr Watts and his team spent the next two years compiling hundreds of statistics and then came up with ways of visualising them, including a Hansel and Gretel house built with 10,000 bars of chocolate and more than 15,000 pints of "milk" (water and powder paint) left on a doorstep.
