Title: The Savoy
Description: First of two programmes going behind the closed doors of The
Savoy to chart the inner workings of the luxury hotel’s
renovation. General Manager Kiaran MacDonald is in charge of
the project, but things do not go to plan - the original
budget is soon spent and on the day of the scheduled
re-opening the hotel is still a building site. Despite the
efforts of construction site manager John Ferrari and his
1,000-strong workforce, the completion date slips 12 months
behind the original prediction. When the official re-opening
date is finally announced, every department rushes to train
and prepare their staff for the big day. Butlers, cooks and
front-of-house staff strive to live up to the five-star
standard of service demanded, with just days before the
doors open

as they compete over four gruelling rounds. From speed
filleting the best of British fish to creating an exotic

really goes into supermarket food. Jimmy looks at how food
factories use extreme temperatures to create our everyday
foods. By turning down the temperature, Jimmy makes
soft-serve ice-cream and uncovers something unexpected about
the ice-cream van favourite. Using heat and a high-pressure
crusher, he makes one of the weirdest snacks around - prawn
crackers. And he finds that it takes a lot of effort to make
what the food takeaways give away for free

face. These advisors then feed their opinions back to Lord
Sugar, and three candidates are fired in the boardroom as he

Beaulieu in the 50s to early Glastonbury, 70s and 80s free
