Chris Hollins teams up with food inspector Ben Milligan and drops in on an unsuspecting family at mealtime. Are they cooking clean or risking their health with bad food hygiene?
Also, the team take on the owner of an Indian restaurant who thinks he knows best, and Chris dishes the dirt on one of the most evil types of bacteria around.
Food Fraud

Meanwhile, Chris and our own food inspector Ben Milligan are surprise guests at a Hollywood party in High Wycombe, where the preparations come under the spotlight. Matt and Chris also visit a roadside cafe in Wolverhampton where the owner doesn't have a good word to say about the inspectors - but it turns out they have a good reason for concern.

The Gilded Age
The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of huge fortunes made and lost, and the rise of disparity between old money and new.
Against this backdrop of change, the story begins in 1882 — introducing young Marian Brook, the orphaned daughter of a Union general, who moves into the New York City home of her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.
In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?
