S01E01 1950s
A British family experiences 1950s life: a poky kitchen and a diet including dried eggs. The family's own home becomes their time machine and, in this first episode, travels back to 1950 - so it's...
After six weeks of culinary time travel, the Robshaw family are thrown forward as presenter Giles Coren and food historian Polly Russell introduce them to some startling tastes of the future. Based on the family's experience of the way our food history has unfurled, some predictions are made about how we'll shop, cook and eat over the next 50 years.
One British family embark on an extraordinary time-travelling adventure to discover how a post-war revolution in the food we eat has transformed the way we live. Starting in 1950 and guided by real records of what ordinary families ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner, they will go from meagre rations to ready meals and delivery pizza in just six weeks.
