Socialising is the Supersizers’ prerogative as they go Twenties and experience life as bright young things. The episode sees “It Girl” Sue Perkins with an authentic bob haircut and Giles Coren in full dandyish attire supping cocktails at The Ritz, dancing the Charleston at the Café de Paris and racing Bentleys at Brooklands.
Giles Coren and Sue Perkins continue their culinary history tour and travel back to the Fifties, a decade that began with rationing and ended with Harold Macmillan exclaiming that Brits “have never had it so good”.
With rationing continuing until the mid-Fifties, the Supersizers begin their foodie trip with a meal of horse meat and canned salmon. As the queen of homespun goodness, Mary Berry, whips up a series of culinary creations in the kitchen, Sue spends a stressful week as a housewife, while Giles manages a car showroom. Aided by Elizabeth David’s cookery books, Sue cooks up a storm for Tony Turnbull, Giles’s boss at The Times, complete with a bottle of Babycham.
Giles Coren and Sue Perkins embrace all that is the Eighties as they spend a week in a warehouse conversion on the Thames immersed in a soundtrack of Duran Duran, ABC, Visage and Spandau Ballet. There’s yuppie decadence in spades for the Supersizers as Giles parades around the City trading stocks and shares, and Sue power dresses her way through life as a Sloane Ranger.
