THE BEST OF BRITISH
A food/entertainment series for television
6 x 25'
Britain has a reputation for being a gastronomic disaster area - but it's a reputation that's completely unjust. A great deal has happened in British food over the last ten years or so, and now you can eat as well in Britain as anywhere in the world.
The Best of British is a food programme with a difference. In each of six programmes, Roy Ackerman, restaurateur, chef, guide author, and entrepreneur, meets a well-known British personality with an interest in food, and one of the top Chefs working in Britain today - in a very British, and very picturesque, setting.
A meal is cooked. Food and attitudes to food are discussed. We hear about the life and background both of the Chef and the Personality, in a series of relaxed, and very good-looking programmes.
The Sporting Lunch; The Country House Lunch; The Travelling Lunch; The Town House Lunch; The Designers' Lunch; The Future Chef's Lunch.
Producer: Amity Film & Video Productions Ltd.
