Restaurant critic Giles Coren and writer and comedian Sue Perkins experience the food culture of years gone by.
Seasons
Season 1
Restaurant critic Giles Coren and writer and comedian Sue Perkins grab their ration books for one week and chomp their way through the food of 1940s WWII Britain. During blackouts and air raids they eat spam and dried egg, have some GI's round for tea and see what Churchill was eating in his Cabinet War Rooms.
Season 2
In this programme they go back to the 1980s, the years of their adolescence. Living in a converted loft on the Thames, they sample the high life of a couple of yuppies. To a soundtrack of 80s classics including the Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, ABC and Billy Bragg, they power-lunch their way through the decade, knocking back champagne while talking loudly into their oversized mobile phones.
