A five-part series marking the birth of key cultural phenomena. 4: Pizza to Go!
Today Nigel Fountain looks at Britain's
'eating-out' revolution. In 1965 Peter Boizot opened his first restaurant, Pizza
Express, in London's
Soho. Twenty-five years on there is a dearth of British food, as people eat burgers, pizza, moussaka, chop suey and chicken tikka.

Six talks on religion and ethics in a secular society by Rabbi Dr Jonathan Sacks, Chief
Rabbi-elect of the United
Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth.
3: The Family
The gradual transformation by which sin becomes immorality, immorality becomes deviance, deviance becomes choice, and all choice becomes legitimate, is a profound redrawing of the moral landscape.
Which is precisely why ideological radicals have focused on the family. Change it and you change humanity.
