6 x 60′ BBC2
- The Supersizers Go Series Two 1970’s
Following the success of The Supersizers Go… Series 1, Giles Coren and Sue Perkins explore six further eras of gluttony, gastronomy and gorgeous food from the ages. This time they’ll eat their way through typical menus from the 1950s, Marie-Antoinette’s Versailles, 1066 and the Norman invasion, 1980s London, the Romans and their vomitoriums and the Roaring 20’s.
Once again resplendent in the period costumes of the day – be it shoulder pads, togas, hair shirts, wimples or Dior’s New Look – they’ll experience the highs and lows of culinary history, and adopt the etiquette, social habits and mores of each era in their own highly individual way.
Whether it’s the sushi, nouvelle cuisine or microwave food of the 80s or the liquamen fish gut sauce, flamingo tongues and milk-fattened snails of the Romans, this will be a compellingly comic look at what our ancestors really ate and how they really behaved while doing it.
