BBC Two - The Supersizers, The Supersizers Go..., Regency

Giles Coren and Sue Perkins indulge in the diet of the Regency period of 1789-1821.

Giles Coren and Sue Perkins indulge the Regency diet of 1789-1821. During their week they try boars head and salmon poached in Champagne and discover the origins of the sandwich.

Restaurant Critic Giles Coren and writer and performer Sue Perkins spend a week on a diet spanning the Regency Years of 1789 - 1821. With the wonderful Rosemary Shrager cooking for them at their country manor house, they enjoy the full trappings of the landed gentry. Dressing as a Jane Austen heroine, Sue is on a mission to find a husband, while Giles indulges in being a dandy.

During their week they try a meal fit for a Prince with boars head and salmon poached in Champagne. Giles tries the roast beef of England and together they discover the origins of the sandwich while gambling away their inheritance at the gaming tables. A week filled with drunken abandon and Giles in debtors prison, the Supersizers end their eating extravaganza in true Regency style with a ball complete with dancing.
