Episode 11: Russell Grant

BBC One - My Life on a Plate, Russell Grant

Entertainer and astrologer Russell Grant journeys back to his childhood in Middlesex.

Chef Brian Turner takes celebrities back to their youth, using the power of food to jog memories. Astrologer Russell Grant journeys back to his Middlesex childhood.

A journey back to his childhood reveals that entertainer and astrologer Russell Grant was once a devoted and angelic little choirboy with an impressive soprano voice. His passion for rural Middlesex where he grew up hasn't left him and his memories are full of the tastes of childhood. Brian Turner takes Russell back to the church where he sang, the canal whose noisy, chugging barges lulled him to sleep at night, and the modest flat where his parents raised him. 

Along the way, Brian gathers inspiration for two dishes he cooks for Russell, one designed to take his guest back to his youth, the other which puts Russell's life on a plate.
