BBC One - My Life on a Plate, Christopher Biggins

Christopher Biggins revisits his happy childhood in Salisbury.

Chef Brian Turner takes celebrities back to their youth, using the power of food to jog colourful memories. Christopher Biggins revisits his childhood.

Christopher Biggins grew up in Salisbury and describes a childhood every bit as flamboyant as his adult personality would suggest! He developed an early taste for the high life, ordering room service at the local hotel while his mother served cocktails downstairs. He remembers the larger-than-life characters who filled his younger life - aunts and grannies who taught him the appreciation of food, and gave him culinary memories to cherish. 

Brian picks up lots of ideas as they chat and comes up with two mouthwatering dishes to transport Biggins back to those happy times.
