S00E01 - Edwardian Supersize Me

As part of BBC Four's Edwardians Season, restaurant critic Giles Coren and comedian Sue Perkins attempt to eat for a week in the style of the era's monied classes. Chef Sophie Grigson keeps their plates piled high. How will our 21st-century foodies cope with seven days' worth of huge breakfasts, meat-heavy dinners and rich puddings? A glance at Monday's menu - which in Edwardian terms is a fairly simple affair, being for a private family day with no guests - gives an idea of just how daunting is the task ahead of them. Experts will be on hand to explain how, among other things, the Edwardians gave the world the Full English Breakfast, allowed women into restaurants (though strictly as decoration) and entertained on a table-creakingly grand scale at home. To top the week off, Giles is assessed by a doctor to find out what seven days of Edwardian-style excess has done to his body.
