Rip Off Britain

Food: Series 1

Episode 4

Duration: 45 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

Julia Somerville, Angela Rippon and Gloria Hunniford investigate what we pay for our food and drink and ask whether it is too much. They look at why the cost of a roast dinner is on the rise, discover how the weather affects prices, and meet viewers angry at sky-high prices for snacks when flying.

Plus, how can pubs justify charging as much for soft drinks as they do for beer? And why do some well-known restaurant chains charge more for their vegetarian meals than the meaty dishes with more expensive ingredients? Show less
